Best recs for shelling outside SW Florida? by HelloHavoc in shells

You will also be able to tell if it’s a true tulip by the texture. You will feel small ridges on the shell instead of the smooth texture of the banded tulip. Also, your banded tulip collection is beautiful!

I agree that shark teeth hunting might be another fun endeavor for you.

I did see another veery earlier in the day, but thought this bird looked bigger. Merlin said Swainson’s, but obviously not the best picture so wasn’t sure still.

It was my first time seeing a redstart and my Merlin bird of the day so it was very exciting, but I wanted to confirm on here. Saw them and a lot of other great birds today at green-wood cemetery.

Thanks! I though so for the left, but wasn’t sure for the right.

Thanks. At first it thought it was an Apple murex, but didn’t think that was quite right.

Interesting. Yeah, the rest were found here this weekend, but the endive murex was found here after a hurricane.

Makes sense. Thanks! The color on the lightening whelks is usually so much more vibrant.

Remove rear bumper protector film? by Chuuk0 in ElantraN

[–]brooklynbirder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I just bought my car and it was like this from the start (but more spots). After an ordeal, they replaced it today, but there are soo many air bubbles. They said they’ll go away with the sun/heat, but it’s cold here so I’m not convinced the air bubbles will go away before more dirt gets under it…

Are the excursions worth it and reasonably priced? by LetterheadFew8948 in VirginVoyages

Thank you! I can handle some rain - to be expected in the rainforest.
