The Locals

    Double-crested Cormorant

    Dives for fish, then hangs its wings out on the pilings to dry, because its feathers soak through.

  2. Placeholder for a summer flounder illustration

    Summer Flounder

    Born upright. Then one eye crawls over its skull and it lies down in the sand for good.

  3. Placeholder for an Atlantic mole crab illustration

    Atlantic Mole Crab

    Lives in the swash and digs in tail-first every time a wave pulls back.
