Critter hunting take 2

On our last night on Hilton Head we explored a different beach to look for more critters.
We found a small stream that flowed into the ocean and thought we might be more successful than the previous night.
Once low tide hit we set out on our bikes,this time we came with buckets, shovels and a net.

 Nothing was stopping this guy from finding something.


What we found were small crabs that dug holes in the mud flats.


If you sit still, they come out to eat.



We finally caught one. Ruby actually caught this one by digging up one of the holes.


It was fun to let him go and watch him scoot quickly into another hole.




Success!

Great photos [all your vacation posts]! I felt like I was a fly on the wall [in the air?] with you.
