I am trying to get back into walking during my lunch break. I was walking along Baltimore's Inner Harbor and decided to take a look and see what is in the water. I first saw a few ducks then farther down I noticed something different. For a short moment I thought it was a plastic bag, then I saw it move. It was a jellyfish.
Last time I saw a jellyfish in a harbor was when I was in Boston when there was a large group of them.
I only saw three of them when I was on my walk today. Two were near each other and one was farther down the way. I recently learned that a group of jellyfish is called a smack.
It was definitely a surprise to see something other than ducks in the harbor. In doing some research I found jellywatch.org that is a citizen-science site where people can add their sightings. It also is full of interesting information about jellyfish. Learning new things every day, Meet Me Outdoors.
