Actions & Comments
The ocean has continued its erosion of the high banks near the Clatsop Lane access to the beach. The sand has started to move back on shore. The sand and beach rocks had been moved out to sea during the winter months a little more than normal. Bald eagle observations include several single observations of an eagle flying either north or south along the beach and on two ocasions in February I saw three eagles soaring high above the area.

The wrack line contained small (2-4") crab casings, clam shells and broken sand dollars. There was a small land slide near a house drain line - see picture. The sand level was low on the north end of mile 307 which leaves the rocks uncovered.

Other than the wheel and tire, the beach was very clean.
