Wildlife mostly off-shore on rocks. Driftline had more sea palm kelp than usual. Some bull kelp was present. This has been a popular stretch for people building structures out of the driftwood, but only one was present. 14 dead Common Murres (about half adult/half juvenile) were much more than normal. No notable physical changes in shoreline. OBSERVER Doug C EMAIL   •  REPORT PUBLISHED 11/1/11 1:43 PM PHOTOS PRINTER-FRIENDLY ©2013 Oregon Shores •  CONTACT US
