A couple weeks back we met our nature study group at the tidepools. It was an absolutely beautiful day. We didn't find any star fish, we did spot the usual limpets, hermit crabs, sea snails, purple sea urchins.
We found 1 red sea urchin! Didn't have my camera on me to take a picture but Kiera and I our journals.
One of the mom's found this neat bone(?) while searching the tidepools.
Fortunately for us there was a nice docent walking around and she said she didn't know what it was but someone had mentioned the chest bone of a bird. Hmmm, interesting. So I came home and googled bird sternum and found very similar bones. She said she had originally thought a ray, but then her theory behind cartilage deteriorating didn't support that very well.
Pelican's!
