This one goes out to Chappy, the gray seal pup found mysteriously wandering around the city streets of New Haven a few weeks ago. He was exhausted and dehydrated when Mystic Aquarium took him in and did their best to nurse him back to health. He was showing signs of improvement but sadly took a turn for the worse and it was announced today that he didn’t make it. Gray seals are natives of the New England coastline. I photographed this one off the shores of Cape Cod. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 380mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/2500th of a second.
