A few extra side notes; I got my watershoes today – in anticipation for tidepooling! Last night I ordered a few filters for my camera that should make tidepool photography a lot easier. I also picked up another Audubon guide from a thirft store for north american birds … in the eastern region. This is not entirely useful. I’m sure some of the birds overlap between the east and the west, haha.
