From late February until the end of April, we are on the look out for seals resting on the beach.
We are lucky enough to see 1 or 2 each year!
It was cold and windy this morning, and I was tempted to pass on our regular beach walk. Â Thankfully, we bundled up and headed out.
This seal was one of the smallest we have ever seen. Â And from a distance, it looked like a piece of driftwood or jetty rock.
A volunteer from The Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine was on hand to mark the area (the pup was snoozing in a tire rut) and told us the seal arrived late Saturday and would likely return to the ocean today.
Pictures from a safe distance (zooming in with my phone) so we didn’t disturb the seal’s nap!
