Notable Wildlife

Illegal ladder just off the southern end of the cape near a ledge that was used by common murres. On past paddles, I have noticed that the murres now avoid this ledge. In the past it was packed with these birds.

It's been quite a while since I visited here, and it felt like visiting an old friend.

I am combining three mile segments North, Tip, and South since I typically paddle the whole thing and no other reports are being filed currently.

This was a very beautiful day at a stunning spot that few see up close.
