2013

September 9, 2013 - wbailey
Nothing unusual. Typical build-up of dunes in some locations from strong northerly winds. Noticeable accumulation of processed wood chips in several localized areas possibly dumped from a passing barge/ship. Only people observed (3) were on horseback. Few shorebirds sighted. Very noticeable concentration of tire marks likely left from the previous...read more

Calm, pleasant day with light winds. No human activity other than tire tracks from vehicles entering from Whiskey Run beach access. No bird or marine mammal carcasses observed.

January 3, 2012 - wbailey
Not much to report. Two vehicles drove by (heading north) apparently coming from Cut Creek. No humans or dogs were observed on the beach. Two dead Common Murres were observed towards the southern end of mile 107. No unusual debris was sighted. Some driftwood had washed ashore following the recent...read more

Nothing unusual observed. Light amount of natural debris in the driftline. Normal numbers of seabirds visible (both shorebirds and gulls). Tire tracks (likely from Whiskey Run access) were visible but no vehicles were on the beach (an ATV with two people were present as I walked along mile 108). No...read more
February 9, 2011 - wbailey
A beautiful, calm winter day. Very little debris deposited along the high tide driftline below the cliffs. Normal amount of trees, driftwood, and man-made debris was present. Very little if any build-up of sand. All in all the beach was clean and unremarkable. No humans or animal were present; only...read more

2010

July 7, 2010 - wbailey
A fairly dense marine layer blew in during my walk. This made visibility somewhat difficult. No human activity was observed other than a small truck driving north. No dead animals or invertebrates were observed. Minimal ammounts of shells, animal casings, kelp/algae and small rocks in the driftline. No unusual beach...read more
February 22, 2010 - wbailey
A beautiful, clear day. No dead birds or marine animals/invertebrates observed. Minimal debris or seaweed in driftline or on the beach. Nothing really noteworthy other than a Jeep speeding on the beach between the Whiskey Run beach access and Cut Creek.read more

2009

December 2, 2009 - wbailey
Nothing noteworthy to report. An easy and enjoyable walk on a spectacularly beautiful day. No dead fish, invertebrates, birds or marine mammals. Very little plastic or other debris present in the driftline. Surprisingly, little water flowing from Cut Creek after heavy November rains. No sand build-up between the driftline and...read more
July 13, 2009 - wbailey
The large amount of Dungeness crab bodies and parts was noteworthy. Very little plastic and other debris was observed. In several areas, large numbers of worm tubes, six large jellyfish and 5 starfish were seen in the driftline. Shells and rocks also in driftline. A few gulls, Whimbrels and several...read more
  • This bird is probably an immature Western Gull.

2007

August 15, 2007 - sunsmith
Nice day on the beach. Fog came in around noon, but soon blew out. Debris on the beach is too great to attempt to carry out. Cut Creek is now taking a more northwesterly flow to the ocean. Old car chassis not visable, just one tire and a rusted box...read more
  • This bird is probably a Common Murre.
June 8, 2007 - sunsmith
Shells, animal casings, kelp/algae, small rocks, wood pieces, plastic pellets, land-based debris, ocean-based debris, styrofoam and a large number of sand dollars in the driftline. Gulls on the beach. One Turkey Buzzard flying overhead. Cut Creek's new path to the ocean was most surprising. It has taken a course much...read more
March 3, 2007 - sunsmith
Another interesting day on the beach! Shells, animal casings, kelp, small rocks, wood, plastic, styrofoam, wood pallet and land- and ocean-based debris in driftline. Foraging shorebirds moving in response to humans. Dead birds: 2 Rhinoceros Auklets, 1 Black-legged Kittiwake and 1 Cassin's Auklet. Land slumps on the headland. Erosion and...read more
  • Evidence of wood cutting began at the south end of my mile.
  • Had watched this fella dig out the sand away from the log.
  • shot from waterline
  • shot from north backside
  • The real concern ended up being the little girl who kept running down to water, the father totally oblivious it.
  • This was new to me........
  • Had never seen this before. Another old tire is further up the creek and a large peice of rusted metal body also.
  • Will have to research this. Unknown beached or wrecked vessel skeleton embedded in foredune.
  • Another look.
  • Obviously a motorcycle has illegally been on the beach.
  • The Cut Creek immediate area seems to take quite a beating.
  • This usually large diameter tie line dwarfed my hiking stick.
  • Several small slides were spotted & brought to the attention of Dunes management.
  • Closer shot of some slippage.
  • This was the blue Chevy Van that was speeding on the beach, disturbing feeding seabirds, and endangering lives. The license was RUZ 031 if anyone sees it out there again!

December 30, 2006 - sunsmith

Bunches of rope, broken crab pots and bait containers on beach. Observed a person removing driftwood as firewood on beach and reported this to Parks and Recreation...read more
