Sailors on the beach

 
 
A quick shot of a By-the-wind Sailor (Velella velella) washed ashore in Bodega Bay on 2 April 2023.  These Velella were relatively small, most were less than 1 cm long.  Have you been seeing them on the beaches recently?

    Hi Jackie,
    They just started hitting the beaches of central Oregon! All small (<1 cm) as well. Fun to see the coastwide connections.
    All the best,
    Jennifer

    Hey, cool! Is this Jennifer Fisher? So great to hear from you! And I agree, fun to know the extent of the Velella "front".

    Howling NW winds today in Blow-dega Bay.
