Our County Seal? Photo by Cheryl Nowak This creature was spotted on the banks of a Metompkin Island this week. www.ShoreBank.com So we turned to animal behaviorist Kathy Sdao who has broad experi- ence working with marine mammals. From her current base in Taco- Off-Site ma, Wash., Sdao identified it as a habor seal and added, “Harbor seals Catering aren’t sexually dimorphic, so you can’t tell if it’s a he or a she. And be- Available cause I have no size reference in that photo, I can’t tell how … old — s/he may be. The fact that s/he has no external ear flaps makes it a seal, not a sea lion.” Sdao offered further details by way of a 1985 book, “The Marine Mammals of Virginia,” by Robert A. Blaylock of the Virginia In- stitute of Marine Science, which notes, “The harbor seal is medium- sized growing to a maximum length of 5.9 feet. … This is the only seal species which might be encountered in Virginia. … The harbor seal appears to prefer gently sloping beaches on which to haul out. … In- frequently, small groups of harbor seals may be found near the is- lands of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in spring and summer.” Federal Funding for Shore Projects U.S. Sen.

Kurt thanked Carl Edwards, who finished third, and Jeff Gordon, who finished second, for racing him clean at the end of the race. Gordon said, “We were fast and kept having little issues that keep popping up that we had to overcome. We’re going to win races. We’re getting close.” The teams are looking forward to this week’s break to repair some damage and start new. A lot of the field was trapped a lap down when #47 Toyota’s gas man, Jimmy Watts, chased a runaway tire into the grass. Caution was called for safety reasons. He was suspended for the remainder of the race and the next four. Next race Sunday, March 22, at Bristol on FOX @ 1:30 p.m. Another second! I know the wins are coming soon! The 24 team has things going good, just a few small problems have cost a couple of wins.
