(top video added 6:39 pm – baby sunflower sea star on the move!)
Notice a lot of school buses around West Seattle today, not at the usual hours? One last low-tide field trip before school gets out for the summer. Among the volunteer beach naturalists out again today was John Smersh of Click! Design That Fits (which, like the naturalist-program-sponsoring Seattle Aquarium, is a WSB sponsor). He shared the photos and video, and reports:
A great day today with lots of kids on field trips to the beach! We will be doing another weekday beach session tomorrow from 11 am to 2 pm (low at 1:39 pm). The last photo is a Sea Lemon, which is a type of sea slug. There was one young gal from one of the schools who had picked that as “her” animal to find, and I don’t believe she ever did… by the time I found this one she had left.
You’ll find the naturalists tomorrow at Constellation Park (south of Alki Point) and Lincoln Park (near Colman Pool).
