First walk of the season for the Saturday volunteers and we were excited to see a number of very interesting things:
A first for me - something I'd never seen and had never head of - a sea robin. It was alive and just at the high tide line. Kaela says they are one of her favorites. Thank you Justin and Kaela for sharing your pictures today.

The puffer fish again ...

And a live spider crab on top of a cannonball jelly. Sometimes we see the spider crabs inside the bell of the jellyfish

| It was not backing down either |
Angelos found a moon jelly - Remember those disc shaped items that Wednesday's volunteers found? They are part of the moon jelly when it breaks apart.

A second spider crab further up the island
Also saw lots of hermit crabs nearby |
Those deer don't like the no seeums any more than humans

A small dead shark...

New volunteer Cherie with her sand dollar - a nice one!
