Report Details
Two hours after high tide -- there are DOZENS of dead birds on the beach today. I lost count. (See photos.)The wrack line contained lots of tiny bits of plastic, as well as larger, more-recent plastic trash.Found one piece of plastic with Japanese writing on it (see photo).Many pieces of debris and wood were covered with the fuzzy stuff that I think means they've been at sea long time.Some kelp and small logs scattered evenly along the line.Also, we spotted some whales not too far from shore -- they were just a bit north of the Twin Rocks.Bird 1 Northern Fulmar- common this time of yearBird 2 Cassin's Auklet- high number, according to COASST, juveniles, bad weather, left early unprepared for the trip.Reminder Debris will start to come in with the storms.

According to tide tables, tide should have been well under 6’, but tide seemed much higher and earlier than tide table.

Noticed what seem to be an elk carcass but mostly just the hide or pelt maybe some bones mid size.
