[CINC] vampire squid

[Catherine French]

Great day on Santa Cruz at Scorpion. Spotted a pair of osprey at Cavern Point, and a phoebe, and several foxes eating figs. A few common dolphins showed up on the way on very calm seas. Marty in VC and me for hikes and staying for the weekend.

Interesting find, a living fossil vampire squid eats marine feces and debris at 2,000+ ocean depths.
