Latest Manatee Update: February 21, 2012
As I hoped, it was better today. I counted 59 manatees and among them were Howie and Georgia with a calf. An oddity: yesterday I saw Amber's calf but no Amber. Today I saw Amber but not her calf. As she had with for two days recently, Amber was again nursing a different calf with a small scar on its right flipper.
