Sorry I'm reduced to iPhone pictures alone this week, but my camera is in the shop. 4 phonecalls, 3 online chats, endless web pages, a box shipped 1,700 miles, and 3 store visits by my parents later and Best Buy is in possession of my warranty-covered camera. Thanks mom and dad for helping out when none of the associates seem to want to (totally not bitter...).

My housemates Emily and Sharon suggested hitting up The Lookout Tavern for burger night and I just went to support them of course. I was pumped to see the crab cake 'burger' on the $10 burger night list and ordered it to fulfill my goal of "eat as much seafood as possible while I live on an island".  The portions were huge and there was a ton of crab, so we all left full and happy (grapefruit IPAs all around as well!). This was our first time to eat out on the island! 

Rain, physical labor, and long days have made for a tired shorebird biologist. Wednesday was leftover night - which isn't a bad thing when you have leftovers like this. 

My breakfast every day. Mmm. 0% thick Greek yogurt, granola, and fresh berries get me out of bed in the morning (as well as the sun shining in my four windows and skylight). 

Did I mention I have great housemates? Emily made me this margarita while I was in the shower washing all the wonderful smells and grime of field work off.

I had a long field day Thursday so when I got home from my evening field work Emily had made dinner. Pesto Chicken Parmesan hit the spot! I probably would've had cereal had she not been the real MVP. And in time to watch Jeopardy to boot.

I pretty much want to take a picture of every delicate seashell, interesting piece of driftwood, and unique crab shell. However, because I am actually working and there is a limited amount of space on my phone, here's a small collection of the beautiful things I see along the beach. I mean, at the office.

I thought this rock looked like a piece of meat and couldn't get over it. It has been 4 hours and I am still laughing to myself. 

We had a few rainy and overcast days in the last week. All of these different snails, both land and sea, made an appearance.
