Report Details
An appalling number of dead Common Murre (177) littered the high-tide line on the mile south of Face Rock State Park. All but three were babies showing no sign of injury. In 12 years of daily beach walking, I've never seen a dead baby murre, let alone this number. It was like coming onto a field after the battle. The crows and gulls were already feasting on the fallen.

Smoke clouded the skies today, but by the time I did my beach clean-up, the wind had changed direction and the temperature had cooled to 62 degrees.
