HORSESHOE CRAB UPDATE!

I have been recognized by the United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for participating in the Horseshoe Crab Tagging Program by reporting the tag I found last weekend (https://pixelfed.crimedad.work/i/web/post/715310569850044948)! They sent me a certificate and a pewter pin. Somehow we got so excited about it that we had to take a family photo.

Hey that's rad, I'd be stoked too! I already do a little dance whenever one of our iNaturalist submissions gets tagged by a research group, but now I want a pin
