Charlie Seablom’s team had beautiful sunshiny weather and a -2.4 tide when they made the long hike to Footprint Rock on the west side of Whidbey Island on May 28. The team was made up of five adult monitors with one sunbonnetted little one along to supervise. Melody Kuschnereit got a good look at a stalked jelly and Libby Hayward spotted a Dungeness crab (Cancer magister). Other highlights for the team included polychaete worms and a black oystercatcher.
Join Island County Beach Watchers as they explore and survey the rich intertidal zone.
