Report Details
We walked north on our mile with very little beach showing due to the high tide (9.4 ft.); walking into a rainbow with south wind and showers at our back.Of concern were the four small birds spread out over our mile. They were about 8 inches and black/gray with white underbelly and blue webbed feet. They were sitting on the sand and appeared too tired to move. They may have been small auklets. Is there anything we could have done for them?
