Authorities are racing to minimize the ecological damage from a massive oil spill off the coast of Southern California.  Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley tweeted Sunday that oil had begun washing ashore in Huntington Beach, 30 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. Foley blamed a pipeline breach linked to an oil rig about five miles off the coast.  "We’ve started to find dead birds & fish washing up on the shore," she tweeted. Huntington Beach Police spokeswoman Jennifer Carey said 126,000 gallons of oil had created a spill almost six nautical miles long and warned of "substantial ecological impacts" for the beach and wetlands. She warned those in the area to "remain clear of the beach."  The Coast Guard is leading the spill response, saying details on the cause of the spill were under investigation. 📸: Mario Tama, @gettyimages; Ringo H.W.
