Team photo Pratt's Bluff 2010 |
Finn Gatewood led a team of nine at Pratt's Bluff on May 16th. After a long hike down the beach under beautiful blue skies the team went to work finding flatworms, barnacle eating nudibranchs with egg masses, and a large white plumed anemone (Metridium sp.). In addition to the intertidal invertebrates, they also spotted three great blue herons, a bald eagle, two harbor seals that had hauled out nearby for an afternoon of sunning, and paintbrush blooming along the bluff.
