This will be the 3rd or 4th state record (pending the possible acceptance of an older tabled record by the WBRC). Surprisingly, another Summer Tanager showed up a few days later in Seattle!

ID'ed as M. kennerlyi, Northern Hairy Chiton, on a group forum by an expert, but don't see that option on iNaturalist.

Nudibranch Coryphella trilineata (northern form, about 10mm long) & look-alike amphipod Podocerus cristatus. Scanned from a 35 mm slide I took in the lab in 1984. I had found the specimens in close proximity to each other a few days earlier in the low intertidal at Middle Cove, Cape Arago, Oregon. The amphipod (and her recently hatched juveniles, visible at lower right when viewed large) are on a piece of the outer tube of the polychaete Pista elongata; the slug is on a piece of the hydroid Abietinaria.
Notice the white head tentacles of the slug and the white antennae on the amphipod. Here's what one form of the amphipod looks like in central California, where the southern form of O. trilineata ( with chromium orange on their rhinophores and cephalic tentacles) is prevalent: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/1103734
Farther south, near Puerto Vallarta, MX, the amphipod lacks white lines, just like the abundant local aeolids (see Fig. 1f-h in paper here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282252603).

I call this the "ecology jackpot" of intertidal creatures -- nudibranch eating a sponge which grew over a snail shell which holds a hermit crab

Observed while nightlighting. This was the only individual of this species I saw in the 3-4 hours I watched the water.

Observed while nightlighting. Saw one other individual with a longer nectosome but couldn’t catch it to get ID photos.

Continuing rarity, first spotted the day before 26th Dec., 2023 by Carroll R. Seen by many birders as it basically paraded along the waterfront in front of us.

Interesting to find three of these (each individual pictured) during a low-tide walk. Found under the north-end Vashon Ferry Dock.

This observation involves three eagles. Two eagles were perched in the tree, exchanging vocaliations, when a third eagle flew up to the top eagle in an aggressive manner. The approaching eagle and the bottom-perched eagle attacked each other, locking talons and spinning around over the lake. A short time later, the original pair flew off together over the lake, and the third eagle flew off in a different direction.

I was Dock Fouling at Deer Harbor Marina and found this. I don’t even know where to start in classifying it.

I love baby reds! This time of year they seem to be everywhere. At Mukilteo especially, I look extra closely at empty clam shells. This little guy was only an inch or so long.

This is the first Pycnopodia I've seen on Seattle beaches in six years. Hope it's a sign they're beginning to come back after being devastated by Sea Star wasting.

This Bald Eagle was eating a Giant Pacific Octopus's 2' arm, then carried the remains to a branch on the bluff and kept eating.

櫛水母動物門 (門 Ctenophora)觀察者
dnordin描述
This was found in a plankton tow off pier 60 in Seattle.
I kept waiting for it to uncoil to make me feel confident it was a marine worm of some kind.
It moved in a pulsing rotation by straightening and lowering what seem to be flagella or very pointed paddle-like appendages. These are rather flat and taper to the ends. What puzzles me is that even if this uncoils I am not sure this would demonstrate a bilateral symmetry I associate with most marine worm larvae.
I would love to hear what others think?

Beautiful Moon Snail operculum (trap door) found washed up on the beach. This is only the second one of these I've found.
