Mile 300 Report
Manzanita Beach, Manzanita, Neahkahnie Beach
January 6, 2024
More than 30 mid-sized, dead birds of what looked like the same species and one sea gull and one crow. Not too much sea plastic - I picked up some of it. Large burnt stumps and logs were rolling around in the high tide. Farther south, the ocean has removed the dune and some of the paths end in a sand cliff now.

A beautiful August afternoon. Neahkahnie Creek and the drainage at the south end were lightly flowing with small streams.

I went out to walk the mile due to the reports of oiled birds and tarballs washing up in Cannon Beach.
