Seemed like a weird location to find a turtle, even a dead one. It was on the side of a hiking trail. I wouldn’t be surprised if a person put it there.

birdnerd722Description
Dead nestling found on the ground below trees. A shore crab was stuffed in its beak. Possibly it died from choking on the crab?

Caught us by surprise. It swam right under us, chomped on a few things, and seemed completely unphased by our presence.

It looks like moss started growing in the groove of a blade of grass. I never saw anything else like it on the beach.

karmunDescription
I don’t think I’m imagining this. The trees on our property are being destroyed by parasites that look like branches but appear to be snake-like creatures that drill into the tree. They appear to snatch and. Eat animals that come too close. I’ve never heard of such a thing.
