I am writing this dispatch report for Coast Watch mile 330, Sunset Beach to document notable avifauna I observed during spring migration, which include 12 Ruddy Turnstone, 7 Black Turnstone, 3 Black-bellied Plovers along with Whimbrel, Semipalmated Plover, Western Sandpiper, and Dunlin. Also noted on the beach feeding on a dead seal carcass was a juvenile bald eagle (see photo below).
