Sneak Peek: Once a Spawn a Time: Horseshoe Crabs Mob the Beach (Patreon)

P.S. This is a special collaboration with another PBS Digital Studios series: Overview! Hosted by Joe Hanson of “It’s Okay to be Smart,” Overview uses drone cinematography to explore the natural phenomena and forces shaping our planet from a 10,000-foot view.
