Humboldt County, CA: Velella velella beaching

A large number of the blue jellyfish were observed along the wrack line. The beach is on the South Spit (Table Bluff County Park). Some of the jellyfish were desiccated, but many were still in "good" condition (i.e. hadn't been on the beach that long). We have had high winds and tides for the last two days. I do a beach bird survey through COASST.org (U. of Washington). I walk this beach once a month.
