Report Details

The sky was a deep, scary gray and clouds moving fast. But it was dry and a good walk. Saw a few gulls in the tideline as well as Sanderlings and Dunlins in groups there. The storm tides have overtopped a significant segment beyond the Christian Camp pathway. Otherwise the tides have come to the base of the dunes in many spots. Logs are changing position and even disappearing to other places. The predator-control ATV operator is back at work. No one else was out this morning. Scant trash from the sea; it probably came in and went right out again.
