It was warm, windy and partly sunny as eleven volunteers participated in this week's survey. Although they share a similar shell shape, freshwater limpets (see below) are not closely related to the saltwater mollusks of the same name. The much smaller freshwater species are instead allied with typically spiral-shelled pond snails such as the Ram's-horn. Additional survey pictures can be viewed on Dvori's Flickr page.
