I couldn't find any other white-breasted ducks and the bills were pretty spatulate. Heads didn't look green to me but it could have been the lighting.

Are there other octopus species found in tide pools? I couldn't get a better shot. It was getting dark and we had to use a flashlight to get even this. Someone put a hermit crab or snail nearby and it reached out its tentacle to grab it. About 2-3 inches across wrapped up like this.

I'd only seen one of these before and it was the black mantle variety. This day I saw 7 or 8 and they were all different colors and very active. I could even see their heads and little slug antennae in some cases and one was hanging upside down from a large rock. Really cool!

Really hard to tell from this photo, but it was super bright blue. Maybe some kind of parrotfish.

We went on a snorkel trip and stopped at an area where the turtles come to be cleaned by fish. Saw 4 or 5.

Here I'm identifying the coral to the right of the big Red Pencil Urchin in the middle. I know it's a lobe coral of some sort.

Someone had propped up this crabs remains on a rock. Never seen an exoskeleton so intact before.

So cool! Thought it was a type of sea star at first. Never seen another urchin without spines.

Hard to tell from the photo, but I can see the stripes at the front of the body, uniform color on body and then white band before tail.

I think this is a juvenile black-crowned night heron but it could also be a green heron (?).

This is a guess. I didn't have binoculars with me that day so I couldn't get a close look.
