>> I have been watching Pacific City's Haystack Rock for the last week and I have noticed large waves Common Murres coming and going. Large numbers of adults will settle on the rock until our resident eagles attack and disperse the crowd. I wonder if these murres are refugees from Yaquina head.

>> Cormorants (Double-crested?) and Western Gulls nest near the top of the rock, but have been temporarily leaving their nests during the daily eagle attacks. It will be interesting to see if anything fledges from there this year.
