Flotsam and jetsam

It is always interesting to see what washes up on the beaches around here. Today I saw what was left of a beach chair (just part of the frame and a scrap of the plastic material which had formed the back and seat).

Another interesting thing I've seen recently is a pile of shells, rocks, and other small debris in the back yard. I vaguely remember reading somewhere (can't remember where) that there is a type of bird which builds piles of items of this sort as a way to attract a mate. I haven't seen a bird near the pile outside my kitchen window yet, but I will keep an eye on it.
