More stuff on the St. George Island beaches
09/22/08

OK, one more post of stuff I've found on the beach on St. George Island...
Top: A nice plasticized map of our bay. I was hoping it might be from some place really exotic. But, no, it was bought locally, and probably used not far offshore. Well, I guess this place *is* exotic to some folks...
Middle: Finally got this little bird to stand still... not. Anyway, I caught him in some nice light, I thought...
Bottom: This little orangey freckly hamburger bean was sitting there waiting for me Friday when I went down to check one of my remaining turtle nests. After they are washed up by a high surf, the wind tends to blow away the lighter stuff and leave these seed pods sitting right out on top of the sand. A good time to go looking for them is right after a storm, and 2 days later, once the rack lines have dried out a little and the wind has done its cleanup work.
He really does look like he's smiling, doesn't he??? He's about the size of a half-inch thick quarter.
