I spent most of my life in land locked Colorado (no sand dollars). So yep first one since we moved to Florida getting close to 3 years ago. I have seen a ton of other shells. I have only found one sharks tooth too. I would love to find more of both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have, but since I saw them while birding, put them here. The canyon and the condor are at the same place: Marble Canyon, AZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coyote is somewhat filling a niche, as the southeast, and much of the east have lost or decimated the populations of many of our large carnivores (Red Wolf, black bears, cougars, etc.) These are not scientific articles, but infomative, none-the-less. https://www.nytimes.com/1981/03/03/science/coyotes-arrive-in-the-northeast-after-an-evolutionary-trek-across-the.html https://www.chicagotribune.com/chi-0503180231mar18-story.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the ones in NJ are usually somewhat colorful but this one was exceptional. Looks like it just came out of the car wash & I'm sure it will be quite popular with the opposite sex ?. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
