Birds in Bandon

Hi All,

We drove about 80 miles south of Florence to the delightful town of Bandon. We visited the refuge there and walked along the ocean bluff looking for birds. We saw most of the same birds we see at Heceta, though we did catch a glimpse of a tufted puffin. Most of the murres in Bandon were sitting up on the rocks while at Heceta they are still down in the water.  We were both jealous. 

We concluded our visit with some shopping (no surprise there) then drove back north to our campground.

Love

Lovely coastal scenery even in the cloudy wind
