Beach Report: 06/02/14

The weather is still beautiful here, mid-60s to 70, sunny, with just the right amount of south breeze.
A Cabbage White butterfly puddling on a heap of mud that slid off the cliff.
Georgia is trying to find the big teeth that (sometimes) are found over the shelf of debris that forms just below the wave line.  No such luck.
I did find this Cow Shark tooth, which is pretty rare for us. If Fossil Guy is correct, this one is a Notorynchus cepedianus, the Seven Gill Cow shark, which can be seen from the coarse serrations at the "front" end of the tooth.
Right now, both the wild rose, and the Honey Suckle are in full bloom, and is some places, the smell is simply overwhelming.
The Ospreys were out and fishing.  We had one brief flyover from a Bald Eagle too.
An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail puddling.
By the time we finished, the beach was getting a little better used, but not nearly to the extent as it was on the weekend.
The Surf Scoter I noted yesterday is still hanging around.
