Report Details
I am attaching a photo of a dead Murre that I found on our beach. There were 3 other dead Murres within a few100 feet, scattered along the waterline. Additionally, there was one more dead Murre about a mile to the north (Coast Watch Mile 209). This was quite unusual. I either run or bike along this stretch of beach almost every day and rarely see dead animals.

I reported that the weather was partly cloudy: large Cumulus clouds but additionally there was some light rain. The only live wildlife we saw were birds: Whimbrels, Crows, Western Gulls, and one Brown Pelican.

It was a very stormy day but since it was so late in the year we wanted to do a survey while the tide was low, regardless of the weather. There was one place where there was recent erosion of the cliff.
