On Monday, March 13th the weather was a little warmer...not so windy and a good day for a walk on Hampton Beach. There were tons of seashells from one end of the beach to the other. You can see from the image above, I found some nice driftwood, a huge Dog Whelk (Dogwinkle on the left), and a piece of a Ten Ridged Whelk (a rare find in center of pic), several Tortoiseshell Limpets in front center, and a New England Basket Whelk (next to the little brick piece). I took several photos of clams and other shells which I will include here. It was a great day to go beach combing as you will see! Check out my short video for more images and information. Enjoy!

Wells Beach, Maine, winter

It was a bitter cold, windy day on Wells beach in Maine this past Sunday, March 12th. The beach was quiet, with only a few brave souls out walking. I was glad I wore a lot of layers and a good scarf for my face. The wind was really biting. The water was rather calm except for the edges of the waves getting caught in the wind and whipped back in sprays. As always Wells beach was beautiful and made for a great walk. Besides shells, I found lots of birds to photograph, including my first ever Black Guillemot in winter plumage swimming and fishing next to Billy's Chowder House on Mile Road!   (see last photo)  While we were eating our lunch there earlier we watched a Loon fishing - and he/she was quite successful!
