We just went through a patch of cold that left us chilled and the bay's edge frozen. We warmed up a bit, though banks of ice still lined the beaches Saturday.
We found clumps of blue crabs huddled together next to the jetties. A few were still alive, though chilled enough to pick up without getting pinched. We found a couple of live horseshoe crabs as well. I suspect the ice pushed some of the critters up from the mud below.
No sign of the sandhill crane at Beerworld (Ponderlodge) this week.
(And for those of you not fortunate enough to see blue crabs on their walks, they really are that blue.)
