Report Details
Overcast burned off and wind came up some. Thee were a large number of whole dungeness crabs and crab parts. The sand has really built up on the beach, even leading to the foredune. There was relatively little manmade debris on the beach. Tire tracks showed vehicles going north from Sparrow Pk Rd to big sign on beach at midpoint of my mile and then they turned around. Relatively few large logs. There were only five birds seen on four miles of beach, one crow, 3 seagulls, one pelican.
