I thought you might find this interesting. We're going late, late tonight to see them. It's really something. Tonight is the official Venice Gunion Festival. Here's what the web site says about them: California grunion are a species of marine fish found only along the coast of southern California and northern Baja California. They are justifiably famous for their unique spawning behavior. Grunion spawn completely out of the water and lay their eggs on many sandy beaches in California. Shortly after high tide, on specific nights, sections of these beaches sometimes are covered with thousands of grunion dancing about on the sand. The popularity of these grunion runs means that some nights there are more people lining the beaches than grunion in the run.

UPDATE: We went to the beach about midnight and it was incredible. You can actually see the fish laying their eggs. You even see the eggs. Then the next wave washes them back out to see. There were hundreds of people. A true natural phenomenon.
A fish out of water and it lives!!
I have never heard of these--Thanks for sharing.
