Harbor Seal

Harbor Seal

Today Beej and I drove to the Eastern most point of Long Island. It is called Montauk Point State Park and it's a great way to enjoy nature and wildlife. I researched on the internet that during winter months, the seals hang out on the rocks as they like to sunbathe. Beej and I arrived at the Montauk Point Lighthouse and started walking the beach. After quite a walk, we finally found them. This was the first time either one of us ever saw seals in the wild. Normally we have to see them in a zoo so this was absolutely great. I just love nature and wildlife and can go exploring all day long every day (which is why I need to win the lottery). Beej and I were there in the morning as we had to get back before the Superbowl started so we walked back to the truck and headed to our hotel room. It was a very good day.
