I stepped off the trail and stood for a couple of minutes to get a shot across the marshes, and when I turned around to go back, this little fellow had hopped out of the high weeds behind me. I shot him with a DA* 300.

Sensational images Sylvain. All your Cooper's Hawk shots have been enjoyable but these two are just amazing.

Star Fish aka Sea Stars

left high and dry by the tide

Quote:

Starfish (or sea stars) are beautiful marine animals found in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. All starfish resemble stars, and though the most common have only five arms, some of these animals can grow up to 40 arms. The amazing sea creatures—part of a group of animals known as echinoderms—travel using their tube feet. They can regenerate lost limbs and swallow large prey using their unusual stomachs.

Sea Stars Are Not Fish

Although sea stars live underwater and are commonly called "starfish," they are not true fish. They do not have gills, scales, or fins like fish do.

Sea stars also move quite differently from fish. While fish propel themselves with their tails, sea stars have tiny tube feet to help them move along.

Because they are not classified as fish, scientists prefer to call starfish "sea stars." . . .

V-A-V the quote in that post. I think scientists prefer to call them "Asteroidea" or "asteroids" - even if they are zoologists and not astronomers. Science likes to have one term applied to a particular thing and no other, so that term means exactly the same thing to every scientist who reads it. Unfortunately some terms have been used and embedded independently in different sciences with substantially different meanings. "Nucleus" comes to mind as a notorious example.
