Today we had a nice low tide and went out to a different area of our coast to explore the intertidal zone. Look what we found!

This is a hairy triton (Fusitriton oregonensis). We saw a few today, but THIS one is brooding its eggs! So cool.

Then we found a frilled dogwinkle (Nucella lamellosa), which we had never seen before!

We also found this little six-armed sea star clutching a piece of mussel shell with a bunch of small eggs on it.
