Looked like it was vacuuming up something, know what?
Crabs? Mussels? Seaweed?

Can’t get enough of Cape Ann From Ann Kennedy
I’m going to have a camera-free day…sometime before we leave. Until then, here is Rockport Harbor and the view from the Headlands in the very early a.m. So much to see and do, so little time!
Slug or What??? From Sally Plows
Encountered on my morning walk in Manchester. About 7" long…
A slug in a leopard cape??

I would be happy to give John a print and/or email copy of the photo, but just need to figure out how to get it to him.

A shame yes, but a victim of budget cuts, etc. This was federal, National Fish & Wildlife. My grandfater, Thomas Powers, was commandant of the Gloucester hatchery for a while. They moved him to build and run the trout Hatchery in North Attleboro, MA, in 1950.
