Report Details

Low tide at the HMSC dock was 3:18 p.m. Mile 220 is the closest beach to my home, so I walked down to see what the incoming storm weather looked like fairly close to low tide. Since the dead pelican was fairly close to the then (around 3:45 p.m.) high water line it's very likely to be washed away, I took a photo--hope that will be useful for counting as part of dead beach bird surveys. Heard a Black oystercatcher while I was walking, saw one feeding among some gulls last Thursday morning on this mile. Heavy surf, occasionally strong wind gusts, only an occasional mist of rain so far, very beautiful.

A sad day for Mile 220, although the weather was amazing it was super hard and sad to see the tar globs in the mid-section of my mile.
