Report Details
Submitted by a guest to the website:We are vacationing in Manzanita for a week. Yesterday, we walked the beach and found one dead gull. Today we found six dead adults and adolescent gulls in a strip of beach only about 150 yards. Also a dead sea lion on the rocks, about 10 feet long. Time was about 3 PM, near low tide. No obvious cause of death. If you know what might be causing it we'd be interested. Meanwhile we hope this report can at least be useful to others.

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.

A sunny Saturday morning in Manzanita! The upside down tree that is at 45. The strangest thing I found were the two adult common murres - one with a string tied to its wing.

Most notable is the change in the bluffs.

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.
