Report Details
The beach is flat, i.e., no dunes except for small ones around the grass tussocks. The creek is spread out and shallow in most places. A man was walking along the creek with a clam gun but no clams. It was a nice mellow gray day if you were out of the wind, but it was blowing much harder on the beach than the land report. I heard one song sparrow. Willow catkins are appearing.
