Report Details
For the past few days a very large raptor, possibly a Golden Eagle, has been cruising the northern end of Roads End beach. Today, I walked the beach hoping to spot it but only saw some turkey vultures and a sea lion carcass. Attached photo was taken April 14th, courtesy of local photographer, Tony Valente. An impressive bird, it is larger than a Bald Eagle. Dark brown and black. Contacted Lincoln City chapter of the Audubon Society.

Temperature: 57 F. Cloud Cover: Partly Cloudy. Wind Velocity: Calm/Light. Wind Direction: SW. Tide Level: 4.0 feet.

Very low tide level and accumulated sand allowed many people to walk around cliffs to cove below God's Thumb.

Generally, the sand and driftwood have been washed out by heavy surf, but in some areas sand has built up.
