Creatures of Deer Island

We sat on the small peaceful cape and watched dolphins and a whale swim by, and seals feast all day long as we were amazed again by how far the tide actually goes out.  At low tide we walked the water’s edge and saw hundreds of sea urchins, star fish, a sea anemone and of course lots of muscles.  

The first 3 pictures are of a pod of 5 or 6 dolphins or whales (unsure which) that swam by between 1-2 pm.  They were moving fast.  While sitting at the cove you could hear them blowing water before actually seeing them.  A single whale (looked like a pilot whale) swam by about 4:30 pm, he was moving fast.



The next 3 pictures are of the seals that hung out in the cove most of the day.



This was Matt's great find.  So Cool!

This is what the rocky ground had in the nook and crevices.  There also was sea weed different shades of green.

What is that creature, photo bombing my pic again?
