1. Wild Turkey eating insects
2. Insect pollinating flower
3. Honey Bee pollinating flower

Most of my observations were from our field trip to Pillar Point. I don't know that any of the organisms that we saw are seasonally there because they can't really migrate in and out of tide pools. There might be seasons where there are more or less of a certain organism if they have a specific breeding seasons. The flower that I saw on campus is a good representation of spring because it probably only blooms in the spring. I think everything is blooming earlier this year because it has been so warm.
