We didn’t see much wildlife while on Block Island, but we did hike out to visit seals on consecutive days. The tourist info says they are gray seals at the point behind North Lighthouse, but I’m pretty sure this one is a harbor seal. They often mix together and share habitat. On the second day we saw about 20 or so that were resting on shore, but the first day it was only the heads popping up out of the water to check us out. The sun was almost on the horizon, casting a nice rich light on the seals’ faces. Nikon D850 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 800, f/8 at 1/800th of a second.
