Seems like a lot of spiders are up for identification lately, and here's one more. I love his little face. Thank you for any help you can give me.

This is a fishing/dock/nursery web spider (family Pisauridae); specifically, it appears to be a female Pisaurina mira - see http://tinyurl.com/dbnrat. Like their cousins, wolf spiders, they are active hunters that do not spin a capture web, and are harmless to humans (large specimens can deliver a painful but not dangerous bite if mishandled).
