Passing Close By!

We’re counting the cow/calf pairs as they migrate northbound past a little point of land near San Simeon California. Cows and calves pass very very close to the beach at this site —generally pass within 200 m of the point—and often stop to nurse their young in the lee of the rocky point. —Wayne Perryman
