Week 8 Observation Post

This week we went to San Bruno Mountain and China Beach. At San Bruno Mountain we found a mushroom, a banana slug, a bunny, a snail, and other creatures that we weren't able to catch a picture of because they would run away. We went to China beach on the way home from my work and it was incredible. I had never been to that part of the beach because the tide is usually too high. I saw anemone for the first time in my life and it was so cool. We also saw a lot of barnacles, crabs, kelp, seaweed, and sea snails. It was amazing. I struggled to get good pictures of the crabs because they kept running away. I now need one more phyla so we will probably go to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve next week.
