Channeled Whelk ,A North Carolina Favorite

Dear Birders,
Found this Channeled Whelk after hurricane Irene on Topsail Island, after a day of birding the southend.
This whelk is a voracious predator endemic to North Carolina,Florida. Found in the intertidal zone, and known to be nocturnal predator of clams. Notice the beautiful whorls and the smooth texture of the shell.
