Stingrays

The other day I went to bodysurf at Carlsbad beach, and as I was wading into the water happened to notice that I was surrounded by stingrays.

Specifically, baby bat rays, about 1′ across – over the course of an hour I probably saw over a hundred of them. I waded in and out of the water (carefully!); when a wave would come in and the water would clear, I could see several of them feeding on the bottom or “flying” – when I moved or stomped my feet a little they’d skitter away. Amazingly cool to watch.

Here‘s the article I wrote about stingrays for Wikipedia.
