What Is This? -Decorated Warbonnet in hiding

Post by Tom Nic »

Never saw anything quite like this before...

Any ideas? It was at Cove 2, on a log clustered in Plumose.

Well, I'll be.... =D> :salute:

Thanks Bob! ...and awesome picture by the way!! We should probably check the "fingerprints" of this little Decorated... they may be the same one!

...and your guess wasn't far off Dave!

I did not think fish, but it was so distinctive it caught my eye...

Way cool!

It's not fair - Bob tells the fish how to pose and they cooperate with him for their "photo shoot" session.

I didn't see that one Tom - I would have thought "fish" as well.

I just wish I could get some vis like that. Alki has been absolute crap for a couple of weeks.

The Viz was sucky... the shots are up close, that is the only reason they are clear.
