Beach Report 5/27/23

A pretty nice day, right around 70 F out, with a pretty good breeze, swinging from NW to NE, creating a good chop, and dirty surf. Not a great day for fossils, 10 teeth between us.
The first day of the Memorial Day weekend saw the most people we've seen so far this year, but far from a crowd. But enough that Skye got lots of well appreciated attention.
The eagles and Ospreys were out and about; I saw one aerial duel over a fish, but I didn't see how it came out; they flew too far offshore. Most times the Eagle gets the fish.

Beach Report 3/6/21

Today was a lot like yesterday, without the Megalodon tooth. High 30s, windy (a little more west, which helped) and partly cloudy. Or is that partly sunny?
The tide was still pretty low, so we got all the way up past the big fall to where I found the tooth yesterday, but alas, lightening didn't strike twice. We did get 22 teeth, and Georgia smoked me for quality, with four nice Snaggletooths, including a lower which made the kitchen window sill. 
A pretty big crowd at Matoaka; Georgia said it was because I posted the big tooth on Facebook. It turned out to be a mostly a group of people from up the road who picked Matoaka as a beach to visit off the internet, and didn't even know what a shark's tooth looked like, so we showed them, and even gave them a little one. In return, Skye got plenty of pets.
