Thursday April 7, 2011 — Albany, NYA wayward gray seal waddled into the parking lot of a Riverside beverage shop Sunday morning and waddled out with Southampton Town cops in pursuit before the chase ended and a marine rescue group took the animal in.
Southampton Police received a 911 call about 6:30 a.m. reporting a seal in the parking lot of Thrifty Beverage on Lake Avenue, south of Riverhead’s Main Street and the Peconic River, in the hamlet of Riverside. Police responded and the spooked seal crossed the street toward the Budget Host East End Hotel, authorities said. Officers were able to capture the seal after surrounding it, according to Southampton Town police.
The animal was captured by Southampton police and turned over to the Riverhead-based New York Marine Rescue Center. The animal is being evaluated and cared for by the rescue group and will be released at a later date, police said.
Police believe the animal was feeding on the alewives, fish that migrate upstream to spawn in the Peconic River.
With temperatures for the most part expected to be above freezing, that means things should green up in the next week or two, especially with the rain expected. This year, April showers might not only mean rain but also green grass. Might not be a terrible weekend to head out of town, but the long-range suggests the following weekend, Easter weekend might even be nicer.
