Trip Report

Rick Ahrens was co-leader on this trip, and did all the advanced planning. Twenty three Obsidians and their friends traveled the back roads to the coast. While on the bus, Rick gave a preview of the birds we would be seeing. We enjoyed a beautiful day on the Oregon Coast. We spent the morning at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Everyone visited the various exhibits at their own pace. After lunch at the Aquarium, we drove to the Interpretive Center at Yaquina Bay and up to the view point. We saw lots of sun-bathing sea lions and many birds. We had ice cream in Florence before traveling Hwy 126 back to Eugene. Another wonderful birding day with Rick. Thanks Rick.
