Grunion Run, California


The Grunion Run is a bizarre yet fun event that takes places on various California beaches during both spring and summer nights when the females come up onto the shores during high tides to lay their eggs. There, the male come up to mate. Because of the unusual behavior, the shoreline becomes filled with beached Grunions. Hence, the Grunion Run. Fortunately for me, I have been able to attend two or three of these nights and they are most definitely a sight to see. The only tools needed, a bucket and a net!
