A still wet channel to the extreme south of the estuary has been abandoned for a channel to the extreme north. The dune adjacent to the south side of the estuary had been flattened and the beach grass disturbed prior to Snowy Plover nesting season. The beach grass is re-growing. There was a family of five or six osprey fishing in the Siltcoos and vocalizing frequently to each other. There was also an adult and juvenile Bald Eagle at the estuary. Once again, no harbor seals at all. OBSERVER julianne EMAIL   •  REPORT PUBLISHED 11/13/08 7:55 PM  •  EDITED 11/23/09 7:10 PM PHOTOS PRINTER-FRIENDLY ©2013 Oregon Shores •  CONTACT US
