About the Photo of the Week
NRCM member Dave Small of Old Town, Maine, shares his wildlife photos with us (and many others on his mailing list) each week. Usually, he sends multiple photos at a time, but this week, he sent just one…but it’s a fantastic one!
Dave writes, “I’m only sending one picture this week. It’s a photograph of a harbor seal taken at the Orland dam on the Narramissic River. The Narramissic River is a tidal river and in the spring alewives run from the ocean to the dam followed by harbor seals, Ospreys, Gulls, Double-crested Cormorants, and eagles. So, there’s lots of food for the following harbor seals.
This photo of the harbor seal is one of a very well fed seal. I have a standout print of this seal hanging in my bedroom. Every morning when I get dressed, I look at the photo, and I see a well contented, happy-go-lucky, and taking-it-easy harbor seal. So, I’m reminded daily to try to emulate this seal.”
Let’s all try to be this seal! Thanks, Dave!
