A lovely, warm (60), windless, rainless day on the coast. Beach was relatively clean... I took out one bag of trash... could have taken more but only had one bag. Dune continues to erode and all "No Vehicles Behind this Sign" signs are either buried or face down in the sand. However, there were no tire tracks beyond where vehicles are allowed to go, although there were several cars roaming up and down the beach. The biggest activity today seemed to be dog walking. There were 9 people on the beach with 5 dogs. One young man was walking along the beach practicing swinging his num chuks. I did not take his photo.
The cliff at the South end of the beach continues to erode.
A trio of Surf Scoters were fishing in the surf close to these rocks.
Some people are still ignoring this warning sign at the foot of the cliff...
Some signs are still being ignored by a few people, apparently...
One dead and partly scavenged harbor seal was on the beach... (two ravens were working on it while I was there)
Much cuter were two tame rabbits along the McPhillips Park access road. The black one came right up to my feet begging. They looked in good shape. Johnny says he has seen them several times when he has walked back while I went over the dune looking for Black Oystercatchers. He stayed on the farm working yesterday.
It was nice to have a break in the rain... and spend it walking on the beach.
