Report Details

Very pleasant morning, light fog and overcast, light wind.  Beach was relatively clean but gathered about 25 pounds of trash over the miles: 6 singleton sandals, several plastic water bottles, chunks of stuff.  My grand daughter Ciara, visiting from Kansas, got the thrill of picking up stuff.  Few people on the beach and not much debris.  Many logs and pieces of wood with Goose Necked Barnacles, all quite dead.The beach is regaining its steep profile after the huge loss of sand this last winter.  No significant signs of erosion.  Two bald eagles soaring.  One dead bird (picture) but no dead mammals.

We have walked this beach routinely in recent months and have noticed that there are several people, other than us, picking up debris!
