In the eastern area of the park, I noted people hauling 5 gallon buckets that were full of fossil shells like this one. These were fascinating to see and there appears to be quite a few fossils like this. I wonder how old these are?
I decided that all I would take from this park was photographs and memories.

I keyed this as best I could to Monadenia fidelis or Helix aspersa with this key (academic.evergreen.edu/projects/ants/TESCBiota/mollusc/key/webkey.htm), and with Burke's Land Snails and Slugs of the PNW. This individual does not have strong bands; it is noticeably mottled, especially on the "left" side; its body is more bluish than what I've seen in M.f.; and the shell seems more "globose" shaped than M.f. However, it seems more banded than most photos of the Garden Snail (Helix aspersa / Cornu aspersum) I've seen. Not sure what I'm dealing with here! I do not have a photo of the umbillicus. Any guidance/insight appreciated. :-) @jannvendetti, @cedric_lee, @susanhewitt, @pileated, @pliffgrieff, @susanhewitt, @mikepatterson. The eggs were under the rock where this snail was found. Snail about 18mm diameter.

I'm not sure of the crab species but am guessing Dungeness. This is on the Pacific Ocean beach, not the Nehalem River. The gull was trying to eat it but the crab defended itself and the gull walked away.

This epizooic red alga grows on the pelage of some sea otters. In this tagged female, algae is visible covering the entire back of her head and neck. She also has algae on her abdomen, dorsum, and tail (less visible in photos). Alga ID confirmed through genetic analysis. Read more here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mms.12275/abstract
Presence in the Pacific possibly the result of an introduction.

At this location, Big-head Sedge is all along the beach trail from the parking lot to the first board walk. This is a spot that was cleared of pines just after the big storm of 2007 blew most of them down. There were a surprising number of dune associate species that popped up once the pines were gone.

There were at least three pairs of Lazuli Buntings that were within hearing range. This one landed very close to me and allowed a great picture to be taken to document it. It was a dark and drizzly morning, but I had set the ISO of my camera high enough to compensate.
