Horseshoe Crabs Galore
Went to Plumb Beach to see the annual mating ritual of the horseshoe crabs and what an event. There were thousands out there on the shore just after high tide at 9 a.m. We even found some eggs. It is a spectacular thing to witness. Check out the photos!
Hi Anton: Thanks for checking out the blog. Plumb Beach is in Brooklyn, right off the Belt Parkway Eastbound. It's between the Knapp St. exit and the Flatbush Ave. exit.
I am a fifth grade science and social studies at The Brooklyn Arbor School, P.S. 414, in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. I am a member of the NYC Dept. of Education's Science Leadership Team and eager to begin using the new Amplify science curriculum--which the leadership reviewed and recommended--in September 2018!
A former journalist, I have written three books, "The Other Islands of New York City" and "The Blue Guide to New York," with my husband, Stuart Miller. I am also the author of "Big Apple Safari for Families, The Urban Park Rangers' Guide to Nature in New York."
I am a lifelong Brooklynite, married to a lifelong Brooklynite, Stuart Miller, who is a journalist. We have two sons, Caleb, who attends Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and Lucas, who attends Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. We love traveling and exploring the world around us!
