Birds of Yaquina Head

The birds do not always get such sunny pleasant weather in which to preen and digest (and obviously poop). Yet this day was a good one for everyone.

Yaquina Head - II

The headlands here have trails and parking lots for people to be able to explore the flora and fauna of the environment. And there is a section of the ocean surrounding it that is also protected to give the sea creatures a chance at flourishing as well.

Yaquina Head

After a nice rest in Reedsport, we continued north up the coast hwy and stopped just north of Newport at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area. Here is a cornucopia of natural delights with birds, seals, a lighthouse (these are natural, right?) and scenic ocean everywhere. The cormorant above is coming in for a landing on one of the many offshore rocks.
