Update from the Lake: Tracks and Things...

...on the beach at Butt Valley Reservoir, also seen here and here.

Probably dog.

Deer?

Sasquatch — I mean, human.

Crawdad.

Small crawdad pinchers. Finger is red from blackberries.

Corbicula fluminea or Asian clam, not zebra mussel.

Jelly blob, probably Pectinatella magnifica, a type of freshwater bryozoan.

Enlargement of the same photo. This is a colony, and each of the circular to star-shaped indentations or rosettes supposedly consist of several individual organisms.

Shaly beach sand. Hopefully we'll see the reason for the odd shape of this sand in a few days!
