Heavy rain, clearing skies, and then the sun. Â Oh, and a Portuguese Man O’ War (actually 2) found at the south end of Stone Harbor!
From a distance, I thought the first one was a colorful ziplock bag (and walked over to pick it up and throw it away).  Thankfully, I read the recent posts from Long Beach Island and instead just took pictures!
MONDAY UPDATE: The Wetlands Institute confirmed via Twitter – “Portuguese man of war. They can come ashore in NJ when northerly and north easterly winds pushing the Gulf Stream on shore”.
