Along this stretch of . . . bird habitat, Meow man has signed in . . .
and an official boat might just be verifying the authenticity.
Meanwhile, I’m just over two miles off the center of the VZ Narrows bridge . . . doing some of my own verifying. Those round objects . . . half a dozen of them . . . are they . . .
. . . could they be . . see that one splash . . .
harbor seals? This one seems to negotiate for that rock with . . . a ruddy turnstone . . . ?
See the press release here for the NYC Audubon tours here.
Read here about the seal scientists who were on board yesterday also.
What is that canoe-shaped object in the upper left side of this photo?
Anyhow, forget about the cold and book a seal and bird tour . . . on only a few Sunday trips left.
Thanks to bowsprite who suggested this as a birthday present. I may go out and take this trip again to get the photo I missed of a squadron of long-tailed ducks circling our boat.
We stayed on the west side of Swinburne Island (it should be renamed Seal Island.) as MOL Endowment arrived with a delivery along the east side.
All photos by Will Van Dorp. Nearly three years ago I reported on a seal I interviewed on Fire Island.
Somehow . . . don’t ask me how . .. meow man seems to have “signed” what used to be a white ceramic mug that usually occupies my desk. How DID he deliver that? . . . !@#@!!

Too many seals here. They have taken over two of our favorite beaches, and the two sides are in a very public and contentious fight. Loved yesterday’s picture of you in the SSUS’s crow’s nest.

they’re still a novelty here. i’d wager that lots of new yorkers don’t know they’re around.

Meow Man making an appearance at entrance to Erie Basin. I heard the Meow Man has his own page on Facebook. Thanks Will.
