High and low

 

Today's tides were some of the highest and lowest of the year.  

Above, a flock of Snowy Egrets (Egretta thula) concentrated on a small patch of salt marsh remaining above the high tide (+6.9 feet) in Bodega Harbor this morning.

 

 

And a small juvenile Gumboot Chiton (Cryptochiton stelleri) exposed during the low tide (-1.4 feet) on the outer coast in the early evening.
