Only 2 people and 1 dog. High tide a few hours earlier than my visit had swept the beach nearly clean, only a few strands of bull kelp in the wrack line, along with a small miscellaneous of ocean detritus. Twenty-three shorebirds--probably surfbirds squabbled and played on off-shore rocks while Brown Pelicans flew up and down the coast over the breakers. One Harbor Seal. All in all, a beautiful, quiet day on Mile 100. OBSERVER JohnnyCN EMAIL   •  REPORT PUBLISHED 11/4/09 7:43 AM PHOTOS PRINTER-FRIENDLY ©2013 Oregon Shores •  CONTACT US
