Back to Yaquina Head

Hi All,

After "work" today we drove to Newport to return the "Build a Bird" materials to the FWS office.

While in Newport we went to Yaquina Head to see the thousands of murres ( instead of the single murre we had on the rocks at Heceta!).

This is Colony Rock; thousands of murres to the left and surprisingly

Two Bald Eagles on the right side of the rock

We looked in vain for chicks but we did see adult birds with fish tail first in their bills bend over to feed a chick and come up empty. The chicks were there but deep in the cluster of adult birds.

We did see lots of abandoned eggs. Check out the baby blue cone shaped egg in the right center.

Back at the visitor center parking lot, we found the all four if the Peregrine falcon chicks had fledged and we're flying around.

Love 
Sandy & Carl
