Canada Geese
(Movie format: RealPlayer , size: 489.4K)
This video clip shows a family of Canada Geese [two adults and five baby geese, or goslings] swimming quickly toward us on the dock. One parent [likely the mother] leads the group of goslings, with the other parent [likely the father] guarding the rear. Besides being larger than their offspring, the adult geese have different markings than the goslings. Each adult goose has a black head and neck, with white cheek patches that meet on its throat. Each adult has a white breast, with brownish flanks, and a black back, rump, and tail. The goslings have more downy feathers than the adults, and their coloring is light brown, with no distinct color differences. As we move along the dock, the family follows us, quite likely because the geese are accustomed to being fed by humans.

Harbor Seals
(Movie format: RealPlayer , size: 357.5K)
In this video clip, two harbor seals are "hauled out" on the perimeter of a bait pen. At first, they don't notice us as they rest and relax. Suddenly, one of the seals looks directly us; however, it seems unconcerned by our presence and returns to its rest. At the end of the clip, the camera gradually zooms out to show us the seals' location outside the marina bait shop.

Jellyfish
(Movie format: RealPlayer , size: 279.7K)
In this video clip, a young jellyfish propels itself through the water. The jellyfish's movement is similar to an umbrella being opened and shut slowly. The jellyfish moves by contracting muscles on its underside to propel a jet of water out of its body. As the water is pushed in one direction, the jellyfish moves in the opposite direction.

Nudibranch
(Movie format: RealPlayer , size: 607.6K)
This video clip begins with a view of a red gilled nudibranch floating upside down on the surface of the water. Next, we see a closer view of the nudibranch, contracting and expanding its muscles to move forward along the bottom of a clear container. We get a good look at its cerata: long, reddish, feathery projections all along its back. The final view shows the nudibranch moving around the container. We can see the sensory structures on its head [rhinophores] undulating as it moves.

Sea Gardens
(Movie format: RealPlayer , size: 443.0K)
This video clip begins by showing a variety of creatures moving gently in the water. Green feather duster worms and seaweed sway with the current. Next, we see a closer view of white tunicates, with their air intake and discharge syphons visible, and what might be an orangish-colored sponge. The video again shows feather duster worms, before it pans to a closeup of a tunicate rocking gently with the current.
