Mother Nature is at it again!!! She is putting on a spectacle that is absolutely incredible to behold. A reminder of just how blessed we are to be able to witness these amazing events. What an incredible afternoon in Carlsbad and what an absolutely terrible day to forget my tripod! There were pelicans and seagulls going crazy in our waters, what a sight to watch these massive birds scanning the waters from the sky and then fold their wings back to go into a dive and dart right into the water. I couldnt help but imagine hearing the sound of Stuka dive bombers like in the many WWII documentaries I've seen. It was a spectacle of absolute precision and harmony and at the same time utter chaos. If you're wondering why this is all happening it is because of the grunion run. The birds know there is a bounty of food and they are relentless, their hunger insatiable. I almost left because I forgot my tripod at home but just could not bring myself to do it, I handheld the 600mm all afternoon. My arms where aching after the sun went down but I gotta say that it was absolute fun to be out there and the sophistication of the auto focus and tracking on the D5 made me SO thankful to have that camera. There's two photos here so make sure you swipe left, 1st is the full photo and the 2nd a tighter crop of the same shot to show some of the amazing detail. #california #carlsbad #cbadmag #grunionrun #pelicans #birds #wildlife #seabirds #nature #natgeoyourshot #natgeo #nikonusa #d5 #600mm #600mmsniper #fish #fatalframes #ig_vision #agameoftones #westcoast_exposures #socal #audobonsociety #earthdayeveryday #fluxphotography #fluxphoto #jaw_dropping_shots #ocean
Grunion Run
No they are not green onions.
Last night, after getting ready to go home, someone made the announcement: “So we’re going to see some silver fish spawn on the ocean under the night of the full moon.”
“Uh! Sign me up!” Seeing nature in its quirkiest and coolest is right up my alley. I went back home to grab a jacket and then met up and rode south with them to Cabrillo beach.
Grunion are a southern California phenomenon. They come every year with the tide and spawn on the beach. The female will ride the wave in and as many 8 males may accompany her. If there are no males, the female will just the ride the wave back in the ocean and try again. When she does come ashore, she digs a hole with her tale and the male comes up alongside her and drops his milt. Then they wiggle back and forth to get back into the ocean.
The eggs get fertilized and hatch after about 10 days. The aquarium next to the beach gives demonstrations on how easy it is to hatch the eggs. What they’ll do is get some fertilized eggs in a jar, add in some sea water, and shake vigoriously (to mimic the waves). The little fish will hatch from that motion and voila! Easy peezy.
Last night I imagined a magical beach full of flippy floppy silver fish gleaming under the glow of the full moon. What actually happened was a bunch of people with headlights on looking intently into the dark sea, getting really excited when they saw a rock (in our defense, it looked like a fish, really!)
