Did a quick run from SE Oregon to the central coast a few days back to try for Halibut. Cookie always packs the cameras and took a few shots. Lots of lighthouses this one being Yaquina Head near Newport. Soaring Turkey Vulture taking advantage of the updrafts along the coastal cliffs. Sea lion Harbor seals that look quite happy but also like very dead animals Common Murres that are obviously colonial nesters And her prize for the trip a Peregrine Falcon nest. Dad leaving the ugly ducklings after dropping off some food. Four total young, but two are back out of sight. And Dad taking a brief break. Bagged a couple Halibut (about 34 inchers) but no pics as things got busy when one hauled them aboard. Have a good one,

Ol' Cookie knows how to run that Instamatic I'll tell ya.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

We just got back from there. We tried to walk every beach and state park. It was exhausting but the local restaurants made it possible. You quickly learn that knowing the tides is a good thing. Gold Beach was our favorite, we stayed there for a week. Double Ds Diner is the best breakfast on the coast.

Nothing better than nice pics and some good eatin' fish.
Thanks to Cookie for the pics and you for posting them.

I have a bone to pick with the Yaquina lighthouse. I'd been there before years ago and climbed to the top of the lighthouse on the circular staircase, it was great.
Stopped there a month ago while on a road trip and paid full price at the park gate just to drive in and stand in the fuggin parking lot.
No notice at the gate that access was closed to the lighthouse.
15 bucks for nothing
Edited to add: beautiful pictures by Cookie as always

My Arima is in her slip at South Beach until November. Pharmseller: Will keep such in mind, but it's not often that I venture that far. Must volunteer that I'm really good at chumming, especially when one shuts down and wallows in the waves. Probably 15 fly rods in the house, but only 1 fairly light salt water rod with a 40+ year old Penn reel installed. Call me envious, and good luck out there,

Great shots as usual. You will have a lot more to eat than the scrawny little Kokanee I’m catching in NE Oregon right now, but the scenery here more than makes up for it.
Glad the ocean cooperated enough to let you get out. Spring halibut is always a crapshoot when it comes to the ocean conditions.
I’m going to scrap fishing this morning and take a hike up to Ice Lake. Hope to see some mountain goats again. I have some I-phone shots of them last time I was up there a couple years ago on the Matterhorn.
Cookie would love it up there - it’s a target rich environment!

mike r Double D's is good for sure. Next time check out indian creek restaurant. A little better in my opinion. Just up the road to Agnes a few miles.
