    Hi Carolyn, Thanks for such a textbook report, with that clear overhead shot and calipers for scale. It looks like you caught a lovely day out on the shore. I see you’ve filed this one as an “opportunistic observation”, which is still handy, but if you did set a timer and go out for the standard search time, let me know and I’ll file it as a timed search since those types of reports are the most valuable for the dataset. Thanks for spending some time doing a search! – Lisa
