  Sarah,
  As I write this, I can look out my widow and see the crows pecking around in the intertidal zone. I imagined that they were discussing if those humans up on the bank were going to throw another mouse from the trap out onto the snow. Now I see how much there is for them to eat down in the cove.
  A first class presentation. Thanks for opening up my eyes.

  Thank you Sarah. It was like being right there with you during that film, and seeing things through your eyes. Things I would just be unaware of otherwise. The wonder of nature. Thanks OCH.

  Yu’all (as they say in Florida) keep astonishing me with your informative vids. It isn’t just about boats and watermen… and women… but the natural world which we boaters love and play in.
  I used to live on Cape Cod and I remember my grandson taking off on the mudflats with a bucket and returning with tiny critters he had found. Things that we adults never really noticed before… from the minds of kids our eyes are opened.
  Keep up the fantastic work yu’all…
  Cheers, fsc

    Just a minor FYI: it’s “ya’ll”.

      Nate Rooks says:

      Well if we’re going to get pedantic, the contraction is shortening “you,” so it’s “y’all.”

      Seems like something we should probably just let everyone write however they please.

        Yep, I stand corrected. Y’all is a southern thing and we like it spelled correctly. Enjoyed the video, not many rocks on Gulf Coast beaches.

  Something I have wondered for years and trying to be polite is how do they pass the male stuff to the females for reproduction?(pollination) I live on the west coast were we have razor clams in sand . Is it like salmon spreading seeds or eggs, then coated, for new clams? Been in commercial oyster plants and still do not understand how it works?
  Big plastic tanks, with grow lights kept at a constant temperature with circulating salt water.
  I’m sure the seaweed helps in some way, just do not understand.
