Well, I am back at it...but without Ginger. This time Marcia and Josh dropped me at the Galls and they went to enjoy the view and the possible fish at the Point. Today's walk in the afternoon started back where I saw the terns diving. A pair of oystercatchers flew with me, as well as the the crowds of the black-backed and herring gulls who fly down the beach when I approach. A single white winged scoter out on the ocean, and a pod of 6 eider a little later on. The semipalmated sandpipers scurry ahead of me.
The end of the point is closed for the plovers...so we can only peer out to the true point.... But I always enjoy the Light House!...and the seals frolicking. I understand that they are part of the southernmost colony of grey seals, which nests over at Muskeget. We have a smaller group of about a dozen seals at Low Beach in Sconset. I love watching from our house on the Sankaty bluff when the seals regularly swim by.
