Description
I was going to upload just a couple photos of this critter, but it's hard to pick only a few!Nate and I spotted this young harbor seal in Nobleboro, by Oyster Creek. Rather unusual visitor to Great Salt Bay, which, while salty, is kind of far inland for a marine mammal like this. This animal looked healthy, but actually let us get pretty close, around 20 feet away. He called the Marine Mammals of Maine hotline, and they sent someone over to take a look. The conclusion was that this is a healthy young seal who was just relaxing on shore, and no intervention was needed.

Great shot! I really hope this seal will be fine.

Thank you! I've been checking in every now and then, and he's still hanging around the cove. Last time I drove by I noticed someone placed some logs over the driveway to the place I park when I go birding there, and wonder if Marine Mammals of Maine did it to discourage people from harassing him. There was a truck parked on the other side of the road, but I didn't notice a logo on the side of it.
