Crab Orchestra

On our last drive-through of Forsythe, we came across this small band of Fiddler crabs hanging out on the beach. With a natural rhythm, they would scatter in a stacatto flight at the slightest hint of danger, horning their way into the nearby weeds. Then they would come out slowly to go about their business, only to scamper away again when I stood up to leave.

I think they feel the vibrations, amazing how sensitive they are to any movement.
