Field Notes

Notes:

These babies were just littered everywhere along the shores of Magalawa Island -- I wonder what it indicates when they gather in this number. I didn't have a waterproof camera & I stopped picking them up because I didn't know what distress I'm causing the creatures, so I ended up just taking pictures as I walked along the water.
