Lackeys Bay

· Massachusetts

Direct original iNaturalist observation reviewed. Original page note says “Resident Gray seals in Lackeys Bay in 2004”; the current community taxon is Harbor Seal and historical comments disagree, so structured species is intentionally unset. The public map centre (41.501121, -70.702) supports Massachusetts/Martha’s Vineyard.
