Need Help In Identifying This Lichen In Eastham On Cape Cod

There are a lot of this green lichens growing on the trees here on Cape Cod. I presume it grows so abundantly here is because of the humidity and moisture. But, when you get up close, it really is very pretty. And you see it everywhere you look.

Does anyone know what type of lichen it is?  Any help would be greatly appreciated! This photograph is really a little clump that is only a couple of inches in diameter.

Interesting Way To Eat Lunch On Nauset Beach On Cape Cod

This Seagull was hilarious in his theatrics of eating a clam on Nauset Beach in Orleans on Cape Cod!

I was walking along the beach when this Seagull flew over my head and dropped a clam on the beach about 10 feet away. It was smashed and ready to eat. He quickly pounced on it and enjoyed his meal to the utmost as another Seagull stayed closeby, looking for any handouts. Sorry, there were none when he was finished.

I just love how he is ingesting this clam while upside down. Hilarious, don’t you think?
