Report Details

Capewalk shared the beach with others today. It was warm and sunny most of the day. Maybe six persons on the beach and one dog, who was well behaved. One person was mining a stream coming down the slowly sliding buffs on this stretch of beach. Very little litter, one section with a fair number of plastic bottles. No major changes on beach. Saw peregrine yesterday from bluffs and a harrier today. Like I said, some noise black oystercatchers on rock close to lighthouse. No sea mammal, was hoping for whale, to late now.. Plenty of people drive out the bluff, light house is closed, but some folks were walking out to house.
