A tiny little mollusk/sea slug that I managed to find several of at the Blue Heron Bridge, these Flapping Dingbats or Batwing Slugs (Gastropteron chacmolis) only grow to about 3-7mm.
I’ve dragged my feet on posting these for a long time… mainly because they’re not the greatest photos of a really awesome subject. I’d seen photos of the “Shaun the Sheep” nudibranchs in magazines and websites for a while and always wanted to find some…
Headed back to Pacific Northwest waters for some more cold water diving and so I thought maybe it would be a good idea to share some fish photos from the archives before I collect some more… Enjoy!
Maybe I should have posted these a few weeks ago on Halloween… Regardless, here are some more Skeleton Shrimp photos from both Florida and Washington. Looking at these again, I realize just how hard these tiny critters are to find… now imagine doing it underwater,…
Found in the Pacific Northwest, Bay Pipefish (Syngnathus leptorhynchus) could sometimes be found among the eel grass, and like most things in the PNW were rather larger than my expectations and I guess explains why I seem to only have photos of their faces and…
I’m pretty sure this is a couple Greater Yellowlegs (there are also Lesser Yellowlegs, but the Merlin app says they are rare for the area I took this photo). The shallow and calm waters worked perfectly for some nice reflection shots…
Some fiddler crabs doing what fiddler crabs do… Filmed 2021.05.22 at Wormsloe in Savannah, GA.
One of my favorite little critters to find at the Blue Heron Bridge… I’m not sure why some of them have speckles for their coloration, but it certainly makes them look sparkly!
Not even going to try IDing these… just enjoy the colors and shapes of these beautiful nudis from Bali.
Though not flashy, these Ruddy Ducks were another “new to me” species I photographed at Arcata Marshes in California. The first three are males in their winter colors (apparently their bills turn a baby blue color during breeding season) and the last one is either…
I was not expecting to find lizards in Muir Woods, but indeed there were plenty of them to be found…
