An Atlantic sand crab (aka "mole crab") in New Smyrna Beach. The dude has recently tumbled himself to death. Heh.

Coquina are quite abundant throughout central Florida's Atlantic beaches. Having said that, I used to see them *all the time* when I was a kid in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Nowadays, they're not rare, but they're not overly abundant either.

Ruddy turnstones trying to scratch out a living amongst the seagulls, herons, and egrets.

A shot of *just one* ring-billed gull. Not bad considering there were a thousand on the beach this day. Heh.
No junk food was harmed in the making of this photograph.

Among the *many* birds hanging out at the New Smyrna pilings on this fine January afternoon was a reddish egret. Not uncommon, but not seen nearly as often as the great blue herons and great egrets. Fantastic.

On an empty oceanfront lot. There were several tortoise shaped holes on the property.
