Interesting to find three of these (each individual pictured) during a low-tide walk. Found under the north-end Vashon Ferry Dock.

This observation involves three eagles. Two eagles were perched in the tree, exchanging vocaliations, when a third eagle flew up to the top eagle in an aggressive manner. The approaching eagle and the bottom-perched eagle attacked each other, locking talons and spinning around over the lake. A short time later, the original pair flew off together over the lake, and the third eagle flew off in a different direction.

I was Dock Fouling at Deer Harbor Marina and found this. I don’t even know where to start in classifying it.

I love baby reds! This time of year they seem to be everywhere. At Mukilteo especially, I look extra closely at empty clam shells. This little guy was only an inch or so long.

This is the first Pycnopodia I've seen on Seattle beaches in six years. Hope it's a sign they're beginning to come back after being devastated by Sea Star wasting.

This Bald Eagle was eating a Giant Pacific Octopus's 2' arm, then carried the remains to a branch on the bluff and kept eating.

Purple Ribbon worm observed in the process of swallowing a Nereid polychaete. Fourth photo shows the ribbon worm everting its proboscis and injecting the prey with a toxin.

Unusual seven-armed individual! I've seen some with six, but this is the first with seven I've ever found.

This was found in a plankton tow off pier 60 in Seattle.
I kept waiting for it to uncoil to make me feel confident it was a marine worm of some kind.
It moved in a pulsing rotation by straightening and lowering what seem to be flagella or very pointed paddle-like appendages. These are rather flat and taper to the ends. What puzzles me is that even if this uncoils I am not sure this would demonstrate a bilateral symmetry I associate with most marine worm larvae.
I would love to hear what others think?

Beautiful Moon Snail operculum (trap door) found washed up on the beach. This is only the second one of these I've found.
