California Mishegoss Daily 2 - Phantom Jelly in Monterey, Being a Native American in California, Crows, Crows, & More Crows

About 3% of California’s population identify themselves as Native American, that’s about a million people. ABC10 spoke with two young Native American women about what it means to be Native American, and what it means to grow up Native American.

A cacophony of squawks echoing through the streets of San Francisco as a mass of birds with shiny black plumage descend upon a skyscraper, or a grassy expanse in Golden Gate Park. Similarly, they’re often spotted congregating around Lake Merritt in Oakland, or just about anywhere in Berkeley — and as winter looms, their numbers appear to be stronger than ever. 

Giant ‘ghostly’ jelly was photographed at a depth of 3,200 feet in Monterey Bay, Off the coast of California.

Shots were taken by Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) Scientists using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV). This is one of only nine times a giant ghostly jelly, Stygiomedusa gigantea, observed by MBARI.
