Day 2 - Gull Rookery

Reflective Journal:

Today was a great day. The Gull rookery was fascinating. Who knew Gulls were cannibalistic murderers. The ride out was just as interesting. It's probably rediculous, but I love the folk lore. I've often wondered about the different kinds of seaweed I'd see on the beach. I looked it up once, but the images were just line drawings, so I wasn't sure that the kinds I was reading about were the ones I'd seen.

Daily Log: Things I've found most interesting:
  • The description of reproduction of Urchins in a lab.
  • The folklore: German U Boats, murders, Spanish sailers frozen and dead on doorsteps, huge boulders flying through houses and imbedding in kitchens.
  • Black Back Gull chicks take all summer to get their juvenile feathers and fly.
  • The way reptiles supposedly colonize new areas.
