Hi Joey,
There was a gray seal pup rescue at Captain Hooks this morning. He was okay, just exhausted. He came off the river at high tide and then crossed the street to Captain Hooks. Fire Dept and Animal Control came and then the woman is Marine Biologist from NOAA that used to rescue seals who just happen to be driving by. So they wrapped him in a blanket. Put it in the woman’s Subaru and took it to the top of Hodgkins where the Animal stranded Coordinator lives near by and she’ll make sure that he goes back to river at high tide. The woman from NOAA said the seal was probably 45-50 days old.

I see fb postings from this group, they naturally will answer any questions. I’ve watched many seal pups and adults rehabilitated and released. They’re in Scotland, but a seal knows no nationality.

The seal is dead. Floating north of Gee ave in the Mill. Apparently tossing it back in the river and crossing ones fingers was not enough. Where were NOAA and the marine mammal rescue folks or the NE aquarium when this baby neded them? So sad.
