Station #4, the tide pools




Barnacles!




We hit the lowest of the low tide on this day, allowing students to get all the way out to the haystack basalts (the Seal Rocks) that are normally surrounded by water. No seals today though.








A black oystercatcher who was making quite a bit of noise up there.
