Newport Whimbrels

On our walks on the beach we would see these birds with long bills. Couldn’t quite get near enough to really see them. One of the walks we remembered the binoculars and got a closer look.

On another day we drove up to Agate Beach and Yaquina Head.

Would you believe this is Agate Beach Miles of sand in strange shapes and piles. NO agates! No rocks at all.

Next stop was Yaquina Head Natural Area. We walked down to the tide pools.

We had a great day exploring, we had not been to Yaquina Head in a few years and were pleased to see the wildlife coming back.
