Last weekend, we made another trip to Cape Cod National Seashore (map) in hopes of spotting and photographing some gray seals (Halichoerus grypus). We returned to the same beach where we’d had luck before, and fortunately, this visit didn’t disappoint. The seals were there, relaxing in the water, and as usual, they swam in close to the shore to investigate the odd two-legged critters sitting in the sand. Watching these seals and capturing them on camera again was a lot of fun.
