Sunbathing in March

The local seal population likes to sun themselves on the rocks in the Merrimack River at low tide. You can see them from the beach along the river at Salisbury Beach State Reservation. They are fairly regular visitors to this set of rocks and it makes for a good photo opportunity.

Two seals take advantage as the tide begins to expose the rocks.

As more of the rock ledge shows, it can get really crowded.

Sometimes you can see the seals playing.
