Report Details
On August 4, 08, Mile 100 had a high number of walkers(38)-30 walking, 1 taking photographs, 4 tidepooling and 3 gathering mussels, and dogs(9), but all were well behaved and seemed to be enjoying themselves. The high tide line was almost entirely composed of small pieces of wood and shell. I saw no dead birds or mammals, but did see a large flock of Whimbrel which were foraging both along the water and also high up on the beach--something I had not seen before. Overall, a slightly crowded but enjoyable day at the beach.
