Creature of the day:  Spotted Eagle Ray

This little one was feeding in shallow water just a few feet from the footbridge in town.  You can see the duck-like bill.  They feed on mollusks, cracking the shells in their jaws.  We saw his parents swimming out on the reef yesterday afternoon:  5 or 6 feet long, and definitely past the cute stage.  They can get up to 16 feet, and 500 pounds.
