Hi guys! Last Sunday, April 5th, I arrived on Sanibel- with my family for spring break. The reason that I'm writing posts about it right now is because, in the island, I didn't have internet access. But I have it now, so let's get started!
View of the Sanibel causeway, going to the island! We arrived around 5 pm, the tide was going out.
We stayed in a lodging on Nerita Street. As soon as we arrived on the island I ran to the beach and started going through the high tide shell line (the tide was going out).
A nice Broad-ribbed Cardita amongst the shells.
Can you find the tiny Auger in this photo?
These are Tulip shell egg casings, I'm pretty sure. I took them along, since they weren't alive. I have a collection of shell egg casings. :)
This is a Purplish Tagelus. During this trip to Sanibel I found around five pairs of these- usually I find none.
Some tiny egg casings on larger Whelk egg casings. No idea what the smaller casings are, I'm still looking into it.
Aahhhhh! A Wentletrap! I found ten in my first two hours shelling on the island!
Nice little Wormie. I didn't find too many Worm shells this time around.
Second installment coming soon!
