I thought the round ones I found may be different because they are quite solid and flat and round, without a pearly look to them. They may just be jingles well-worn from the elements. Thanks for chatting, have a great rest of the day and sunshine tomorrow!!Janet from ILnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387120921225093458.post-40736004541245846382012-09-17T19:34:51.560-04:002012-09-17T19:34:51.560-04:00Janet, The bird is an Osprey often confused for an...Janet, The bird is an Osprey often confused for an eagle. The dark grey shell is a jingle shell. They come in white, orange and the dark colors. Rain, I would have to look at the rainfall. When you see rain on the news it may be raining by the light house but never makes it to Cayo Costa. When the forcast is for 50 percent rain. It could rain all day in Fort Myers and I dont get wet on the out islands. The rainclouds make for great photos. One of the many things I like about the rain. Capt. BrianCapt.

In picture no. 3, <br />there is a dark-gray, round shell tucked under the left side of the sand dollar. I found a few by the lighthouse once and am wondering if it might be an operculum some sort. I've been watching the weather and it seems like you've had a lot of rainy days this summer. More than normal? Good to see you were able to have a nice outing in spite of that. After all, a rainy day on Sanibel is better than a sunny day in most other places :).Janet from ILnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387120921225093458.post-65627874260478976382012-09-16T15:30:51.412-04:002012-09-16T15:30:51.412-04:00We can't wait to hit some of those secret spot...We can't wait to hit some of those secret spots!!Little Black Scrap Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04648629272966148169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-387120921225093458.post-47499842340154634552012-09-13T22:34:42.252-04:002012-09-13T22:34:42.252-04:00Thank you very much Kim.Thank you very much Kim.Capt.
