Port of Toledo Marina Morage
Over breakfast yesterday morning we noticed that the Weather Forecast for the day was continuing cold and fog for Dallas and surrounding areas, but sunshine for the Oregon Coast. Our calendar was open, no meetings or classes or other responsibilities. Buy eight o'clock we had packed the van and were driving toward Toledo. The temperature was 44 and the fog was light along the Kings Valley Highway, and as we crossed over the Coast Range the sun started to break through. By the time we reached Toledo we were in bright sunshine with a temp of 61 degrees!
The Depot Slough Path is one of our favorite birding locations. Despite lots of sunshine, the birds were almost nonexistent. Debris along the path suggested there had been high water, and I suspect that it affected the waterfowl. As we walked up the slough birds began to appear and eventually, we got in a good list, which you can see here.
Next, we traveled a short distance along Yaquina Bay to Paddle Park, another favorite birding location, and a perfect stop for lunch. Jeanette did some more birding while I worked on my laptop with the bird photos.
