Mile 214 Report
South Beach SP, South Jetty Yaquina River
February 4, 2023
Sanderlings disturbed by humans.
Report Details
Sanderlings disturbed by humans.
Conditions
Temperature: 50 F. Cloud Cover: Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: W. Tide Level: 4.0 feet.
Human Activities
Saw a group of nine foraging sanderlings (a “grain”, I just learned) chased off by a curious child walking the timeline. His parents were close by and didn’t say anything, serving as another example of the huge opportunity there is to educate the public on respecting declining species.
Actions & Comments
I walked most of the mile and didn’t see any snowy plovers. Much less trash than a month ago, but still filled a small bag without much effort.

Unleashed dog chasing feeding shorebirds, and insufficient campaign to educate beach-goers to prevent this.
