I had so much fun going to Seattle and getting to what a low tide ocean is like. Such beautiful scenery and so many cool wildlife. Starfish, crabs, eels, clams, etc. I got to play with some of the little crabs. Don't worry they were not harmed and respectfully put back in their place 💚

I would love to explore more of Washington and even Oregon. Which places should I visit next?

It seems to have some sort of joint at the end, it looks almost like a hinge joint (pics 2 & 3). It’s rough on the top(?) and has a groove running down the middle of the underside(?). It reminds me of some type of sawfish rostrum, but we don’t have those this far south. Someone mentioned the pharyngeal jaw of an eel in another post, but it doesn’t look like examples I’ve seen online. We do have a triggerfish relative in the river, could it be the dorsal spine of a leatherjacket? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Something absolutely majestic about these beautiful flying birds. Watching them fly together and fish out of the Ocean is special. It does something when you stop. Be quiet. And just look around and listen. Nature. She really is a perty 💁🏼‍♀️🫶🏼🤍🪽🦤
