No shore birds DEAD BIRDS Total: 1  •  Species/names: Couldn't tell; gone for a long time. STRANDED Total: 0 FISH & INVERTS DRIFTLINE Really very clean, not much of anything NEW DEVELOPMENT MODIFICATIONS NATURAL CHANGES COMMENTS Nothing observed SUMMARY In this mile the bulk of the action if around the wreck of the Peter Iredale, almost all activity ceases away from that small section of beach. That was where almost all the people, dogs and activity was centered - except for a couple of cars (one was a small RV) that had to drive north beyond the wreck. Beach was clean of both natural and manmade debris. Forgot our camera, no photo this time.
