Title: Seals Cupsogue beach

I took a ride today out to Cupsogue beach in West Hampton. I have known there are alot of seals there but never got out there. There is a sandbar inside the bay right by an inlet that goes out to the ocean. The seals haul out to rest on this sandbar. I got there and there were 25 seals on the sandbar. The lighting was terrible as it was foggy and raining. I had to lighten up all these shots with photoshop. Gonna go back with a tripod on a nicer day.

The Hamptons are a beautiful place Chuck...The seals like it as much as the rich folks do I see :D . Neat pics.

Land lubbers. Just like the rich folks, don't want to share the beach with anyone.

Glad you finally got some seal shots Chuck. Looks like they all knew you were there too. :D

Dave they say on a nice sunny day at low tide there can be a 100 seals hauled out on this sandbar, and they all look at you. :P

Awesome Chuck! I wanted to get some seal pics when we were in Maine but every time we saw one it would dive and disappear before I could get to my camera.

Jake you didnt notice the Eiders flying past in the 4th picture down.

Oh I noticed Chuck, but I wasn't sure 100% if they were eiders or not. I didn't want to seem like an idiot :P
