Description
Western gulls (Larus occidentalis) eating from a mass of dozens of Gooseneck barnacles (Lepas anatifera, Crustacea; shell portion about 1.5 inches long, and the worm-like neck stretching up to at least 8 inches) (also called goose barnacles) attached to driftwood flotsam lying on a Pacific Ocean beach in Oregon, USA. Because of their desire to attach to flotsam, Gooseneck barnacles can be found on ocean beaches and out in the oceans throughout much of the world. -- PHOTO: 41,753.05851

Catherine -- Thank you for your interest in my photo. Finding this opportunity was one of my favorite shoots. I studied them for at least an hour, and have not seen such a collection of gooseneck barnacles before or since, even though they are supposed to be somewhat common worldwide on flotsam. 3-29-2019
