Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine.
We visited Portland Wharf just as one of the fishing boats docked and became aware of a seal that had followed the boat in. The fishermen threw some of their catch overboard to the seal and it had a great time playing with it in the water, throwing it up into the air and chasing after it. The seagulls were trying and sometimes successfully, to get the fish before the seal could get to it. It was absolutely wonderful seeing this beautiful creature so close to the wharf doing what I've only ever seen it do in a documentary.
