Hecla Island Part 2

We are re-visiting Hecla Island once again. A beautiful red fox was hunting in a clearing just off the highway. In a small marsh on one of the back roads, Solitary Sandpipers were happily snatching up food with their very long beaks. Another view from the Quarry clearly shows the layers of sediment that consist of dolomitic limestone, shale and sandstone which are known as sedimentary rocks and formed hundreds of millions of years ago.
