A digitally illustrated poster that shows a water column represented as visually noisy acoustic data. On top of the water, a NOAA vessel rests in the water. The deep scattering layer is drawn about a third of the way down the water column. Towards the bottom of the poster, the backscattering response implies sea floor bathymetry that varies in depth. An ROV located in the deep scattering layer is connected by a wire to the NOAA vessel. Gelatinous marine organisms are drawn in the ROV's line of sight.

Drawings of the birds nests and eggs of gray catbirds and red-winged blackbirds. The gray catbird nests are cup-like and look to be made with with twiggy materials, leaves, and pieces of plastic or paper trash. Their egg is bright blue. There are two types of red-winged blackbird nests: One is weaved around a bundle of reeds. The other is a cup-like nest made of twiggy material. The egg is off-white with irregular dark squiggly lines marking the lower third of the egg.
