Jane and I took the day off and spent part of it at our friend's beach cottage on the Chesapeake picking shark's teeth. The wind was from the NE and there was virtually no beach, which they would not be pleased to see. However, there were lots of relatively good sized teeth including our best find ever of a 2" tooth.

While we were freezing our feet in the surf snathing teeth from the water, we kept a running tally including our first of the season Northern Gannets.
