A young female Gray Seal pup – probably only about four months old – watches the sunrise this morning on one of Delmarva’s Atlantic Beaches. Gray Seals are pupped in colonies from Eastern Canada as far south as Massachusetts so this pup has wandered many miles in a relatively short time. Gray Seal pups are weaned about three weeks after birth and they are on their own shortly after that.

I hear they are fairly common this time of year around here…..wish I’d see one on the beach sometime.
