A Worm "Blood" Moon will occur on Tuesday, Grunion season begins tomorrow
Indian Hawthorne is blooming best this month
Bloody Moon over Carlsbad, California
A Worm "Blood" Moon Will Occur Early Tuesday Morning. "Blood Moon" is just another term for a total lunar eclipse. The earth's shadow passes in front of the full moon and blocks direct sunlight but some light will still reach the moon because sunlight bends as it passes through the atmosphere. Earth’s air scatters blue light and allows red light to pass through more easily. This filtered red light is what gives the eclipsed moon its coppery-red glow. This effect will be visible for about an hour from 3-4 am but will be greatest at 3:33 am here in San Diego. The shade and intensity of the glow depends on dust or smoke particles in the atmosphere. The term "Worm Moon" refers to the March full moon when Winter releases its grip on the soil and as it thaws, worms and larvae come out of their hiding places and Spring begins.
California Grunion (Leuresthes tenuis) spawn at the age of 1 year, and live for 2 to 4 years.
Grunion Season 2026 Begins On Tuesday and the first open run will be from March 3-6 from approximately 9:30 pm to 1 am. These spawning runs occur from Spring through Summer and align with the full and new moons. The female grunion swim as far onto the beach as possible and submerge their bodies halfway into the sand and lay their eggs. The males then come along and fertilize them. The males quickly return to the water and the females tend to hang out longer, sometimes minutes, and return when the next large wave comes allowing them to return to the ocean.
A California fishing license is required for anyone 16 and older to take grunion. They must be taken by hand, and no holes can be dug in the sand to trap them. A daily limit of 30 fish per person is strictly enforced. Check the county website for details.
India Hawthorne
Indian Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepsis indica) Is One Of The Most Common Flowering Shrubs used in landscaping as hedges and dividers in San Diego. It is blooming best right now, with blossoms ranging in hue from pinkish white to vivid pink. The bloom will be followed by dark blue berries that will remain through winter. The plant, which has several varieties, is an evergreen, and is not only drought resistant but also resistant to salt spray — so it is common in coastal gardens.
