Gray Seal at Sunrise

Since it has been cloudy and rainy most of this week with no good light for photography I’m posting another look the seal from earlier this month.

A young female Gray Seal pup – probably only about four months old – watches the sunrise from the surf 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.
