Report Details
My friend from Japan, Taeko, and I enjoyed a summer solstice walk on our beach mile this morning. We saw people surfing, walking and biking the mile. Driftline had crab, clam and mussel shells, sand shrimp shell, various seaweeds in small amounts, a purple sea star. The hopeful surfers were gone on our return walk, probably disappointed in the mildness of the ocean waves. Three vulturess were flying overhead and then gathered on the beach, but we didn't see any sign of what they had been eating. Other birds noted were a flock of geese flying overhead, a few gulls and terns. A very clean beach with hardly any driftwood.
