- Viewing Log: Shirley Lasseter's rough viewing log (ellipses equal cuts):
"... first bird looks like a vulture, then the birds overhead are pelicans. The birds on the posts are pelicans and the smaller birds are probably seagulls.
Poking its head out of the shell is what we call a small hermit crab. The other thing that is in the shell is a conch I believe. I would feel happier if I could confirm. All of this with Carol. You did not ask about crab that that is what we call a ghost. Presumably because it is white. We had a marine biologist with us told us the names of all these creatures but I have forgotten much.
I do not know the name of the tool that C & K are using but people use it like a strainer 2 find small creatures for treasures in the sand.
I think K is doing karate. She had a black belt.
I cannot tell little sea birds apart. The little birds could be sandpipers or plovers.
The bird in the tree looks like an osprey.
a pelican
sea urchin
... oyster ... starfish ... maybe an ant on the lens and dolphins
that starfish would have regenerated its missing leg.
... The pelicans gathered when Kwas throwing them the bait fish that they had captured with the net. Not starfish.
... public tram that brought people across the island from where the boat docked so we did not know all of those people.
Hesper did indeed have a brown sail and I was on Terrapin....
