The 4 COASST people, other wise known as the Dead Birders, tagged five dead birds one of which was a Northern Pintail. There were 4 horses with riders and dogs. Two hunters were checking the deflation plain.Two questions for the morning: 1- How high up the beach would a six to ten inch tsunami go at high tide? And 2- Why was the Osprey still here?
