South of Cape Blanco, north of CG beach access road

No major changes noted. There also seemed to be a larger colony of Brandt's Cormorants breeding on Needle Rock than we have seen in past years. Also, we found less plastic marine debris than normal and we carried out a small bag of rope and plastics back to our vehicle. A few Western Gulls and Turkey Vultures, and what may have been River Otter tracks on the beach.

Beach could use a cleanup as Cape Blanco is a known "catcher beach". Erosion was very evident in multiple places including slides on rock bluffs and slumping of clay-based bluffs at the northern end of the beach.
