Shore11.org: Horseshoe Crabs Emerge

By Joe Reynolds: "A day after brisk northerly winds battered the coast around Lower New York Bay, I came across my first live Horseshoe Crab sighting of the year on Monday, April 30th. It was a good-sized, male horseshoe crab found right at the high tide line as I walked near the tip of Sandy Hook early in the morning.
Scattered about the beach were numerous empty shells of deceased crabs. This was the only live crab I spotted. It must have been kicked ashore by the heavy surf. Its shell was well populated with barnacles."

My favorite thing to do on mother's day is to go to the Sandy Hook at dusk and look for horse shoe crabs.
