The sand on Oregon

beaches gets there by three major paths: rivers, cliffs and older beaches. Rivers and streams can bring huge amounts of sand to the sea, but most of today’s beach sand did not come down recently. Layers of riverdelivered sand settle out in the sea, perhaps to eventually become sandstone, which can, as happened here, be uplifted and later eroded. So a little of Oregon beach sand is eroded from those old-oceanbottom sandstones, such as the cliffs found at Sunset Bay. Most of the sand grains on today’s Oregon beaches, however, are from older beaches. Sea level has moved up and down over the eons, and 20,000 years ago our sea level was about 230 feet lower, relative to the land, than it is today.

Then, much of the Oregon Coast was one long sandy beach, fed by grains that rivers dumped directly on the shore. As the sea level has been rising, the ocean has been pushing some of that ancient beach sand ahead, creating today’s beaches.

As they’re moved by water and wind, sand

grains jostle and rub against each other, slowly becoming more and more rounded along their journeys. Harder grains, such as quartz, take longer to polish than softer grains.

The softest grains, such as plankton cases and bits of shell, grind up quickly in the mix.

The actual route specific sand grains made to get to today’s beach varies somewhat from place to

place. (Likely from season to season, as well.) The mix of minerals in Oregon beach sand varies by location, too, depending primarily on the sources of the grains. The size and roundness of sand grains (coarse to fine) can also vary greatly, depending on source of the grains and on the local wave/wind action.

The beach sand that is so fun to play with has

complex stories to tell, with each beach offering its own interesting history.

For information on how you can arrange an exploration of our fascinating natural history, contact Giles at 541-267-4027, mgiles@wavecrestdiscoveries.com, or www.facebook.com/wavecrestdiscoveries. Questions and comments about local natural history are welcome.

Comb the beach regularly, survey for birds and document details BANDON — Would you like to help collect data for the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team while you walk at the beach? COASST is a citizen science project involving volunteers in the collection of high quality data on coastal beaches, and trends of seabirds. Assist government agencies and other organizations in making informed management and conservation decisions. COASST volunteers systematically count and identify bird carcasses that wash ashore along ocean beaches from northern California to

Alaska. Volunteers need no experience with birds, just a commitment to survey a specific beach (about three-quarters of a mile) each month.

If you are interested in participating, join COASST staff for a full, 6-hour training session in partnership with the Northwest Aquatic and Marine Educators Conference. Hear about how COASST started, learn how to use the custom Beached Birds field guide, and try out your new skills with some actual specimens. There is no charge to attend training,

but plan to provide a $20 refundable deposit if you would like to take home a COASST volunteer kit complete with a COASST Beached Birds field guide. Training activities will take place 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, July 13, at The Barn, 1200 11th St. SW, near Bandon City Park.

Reserve a spot in the training session by contacting coasst@uw.edu or 206-221-6893. Other training dates and events will be posted on the website at www.coasst.org or call 206-221-6893.

Honor Coasties, carry Jerry cans PORT ORFORD — Honor “Coasties” and pack a pair of cans on July 4. Cape Blanco Heritage Society will hold the 13th annual Jerry Can Races at Port Orford Lifeboat Station Museum at 3 p.m., Friday, July 4. This activity reflects a tough task of the U.S. Coast Guard men who served at this rescue sta-

tion from 1934 to 1970.

Jerry cans are military fuel cans used during World War II. British soldiers in North Africa noted that the Germans’ fuel cans were better: They did not split when they fell off a truck. The British adopted the German design and called them Jerry cans. (“Jerry” was a nickname

used by the British to refer to German soldiers.)

During the early days of the Lifeboat Station, the Coast Guard men— known as “Coasties” — carried fuel from the main station to the boathouse, located in Nellie’s Cove, 280 feet down a staircase of more than 530 steps. They carried the fuel in 5-gallon

cans, one in each hand.

Each can weighed 42 pounds.

To honor this work, Cape Blanco Heritage Society welcomes people to its Jerry Can Races.

Two-person relay teams will carry two Jerry cans — one in each hand — over a 50-yard course. Winners will be determined by the fastest time in each class.

Classes are determined by the combined ages of the team members, in a men’s division (42-pound cans) division, a women’s division (20-pound cans), and a couples division. Contestants must be at least 16 years of age. The overall winners will receive two fares for 64mile scenic trips from Jerry’s Rogue Jets.

The Lifeboat Station Museum is on the west side of U.S. Highway 101. Turn toward the ocean on Ninth Street in Port Orford, near milepost 301, and then follow the road up the hill to where the road ends. The museum will be open July 4, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Admission is free, but donations are accepted.

The Habitat Conservation Stamp program allows Oregonians to purchase a collector stamp to support conservation of Oregon’s native species and habitats as identified in the Oregon Conservation (which can be found at www.dfw.state.or.us/conservationstrategy/read_the_st rategy.asp) and Nearshore (found at www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/nearshore/index.asp) strategies. Revenue will be used for restoration of the native habitats that are home to the state’s fish and wildlife. Habitat Conservation Stamps for 2014 and other promotional materials are on sale now wherever fishing and hunting licenses are sold.

Upland Gamebird Stamp Art Contest is also open The 2015 ODFW Upland Gamebird Art Contest is underway. It also closes on Aug. 29. The featured species is the Hungarian/gray partridge.

A b o u t th e U p l a nd G a m e B i r d V a l i d a t i o n ( S t am p ) Program The sale of Upland Game Bird Validation stamps generates much of the revenue for upland game bird management activities. These funds also promote upland bird habitat enhancement and restoration, which provide benefits for many species of fish and wildlife.

RECREATION R E P O R T

NEWS AND NOTES ■ Anglers are catching shad on the mainstem Coquille River near the town of Coquille.

■ June can be an excellent month to fish for resident cutthroat trout in rivers like the Elk, Sixes, Chetco and Winchuck.

■ Salmonflies are currently emerging on the upper Rogue River creating an excellent opportunity for fly anglers targeting trout.

■ With the onset of warmer temperatures, warmwater fishing should be picking up in several local area waters.

FISHING Coos County lakes/ponds: rainbow trout With warmer water temperatures in the area lakes, trout fishing will be best in the early mornings. Trout will most likely be near the deeper water. Area lakes will not be stocked again until early fall.

Fishing for largemouth bass and bluegills will be best during the mornings and late evenings. Look to find bass and bluegills near cover like weedlines or submerged logs.

Summer time is a good time to catch largemouth bass on topwater lures. Small jigs or a worm fished under a bobber are good ways to catch bluegills.

Coos River Basin: Dungeness crab, bay clams, trout, rockfish, sturgeon Anglers should fish the smaller streams which should have cooler water temperatures. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, SEE REC | PAGE 8

anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Sturgeon fishing is catch-and-release only on any size.

Crabbing in Coos Bay continues to be fairly slow.

ODFW and OSU researchers have tagged hundreds of red rock crabs have been tagged with a small blue “floy tag” in Charleston to gain an understanding of their growth, age, movement, population size, and fishery.

Red rock crabs are native to Oregon and are found in only a few Oregon estuaries. If you catch a tagged red rock crab please contact the ODFW Charleston office at 541888-5515.

C l a m m i n g is excellent during low tides near Charleston, off Cape Arago Highway and Clam Island.

Before any shellfish harvest trip, check the Oregon Department of Agriculture website for any updates.

Coquille River Basin: trout, smallmouth bass, crabbing Anglers are having good success fishing the large to medium-size streams for cutthroat trout. Small spinners, small jigs, and flies all work well to catch trout. In streams and rivers above the head of tide, anglers are restricted to use artificial flies and lures until Sept. 1. The daily limit of trout in streams is two fish over 8 inches.

Anglers are catching a few smallmouth bass in the mainstem and South Fork. Small spinners or jigs have been working well. There is no size limit or bag limit.

Dock crabbers are picking up a few legal-sized Dungeness crab at Weber’s Pier in Bandon.

Sturgeon fishing is open in the Coquille Basin for catch-and-release only on any size sturgeon.

Loon Lake: rainbow trout, bass, bluegill Loon Lake was stocked with about 7,500 trout this

spring. The lake can also provide good fishing for crappie, bluegill and bass as the water warms up.

Tenmile Basin: yellow perch, largemouth bass, trout Yellow perch are biting on nightcrawlers or jigs tipped with a worm in Tenmile Lakes. The best fishing will be in over 10 feet of water and along weedlines. Some of the keeper yellow perch are over 12 inches long.

Largemouth bass fishing has been good between deep water and shallow water but will still be associated with cover like submerged logs or vegetation. Crankbaits and plastics like senkos or brushhogs have been working to catch bass. Early mornings and late evenings are a good time to throw topwater lures for bass.

Trout fishing in Tenmile Lakes continues to be good but anglers should concentrate their effort around deep water. Fishing is typically best in the early mornings and evenings. Trout anglers are having the best success trolling wedding rings or other types of spinners tipped with bait. One hundred hatchery rainbow trout were tagged next to the dorsal fin with a 2-inch blue numbered tag. These fish were tagged as part of a tagged fish contest sponsored by Ringo’s Lakeside Marina. If you catch a tagged trout stop by or contact the marina at 541-7593312.

Umpqua River, south: trout, smallmouth bass Opened to fishing May 24.

Winchester Bay: steelhead, chinook, surfperch Fishing the Triangle and South Jetty has been good for rockfish. Surfperch have arrived. Popular perch fishing areas include the North Beach across from the East Boat Basin and marker 12. Ocean fishing out of Winchester Bay has improved as more salmon have moved inshore.

The ocean is now open for Chinook and fin-clipped coho.

HUNTING Cougar hunting is open.

REMINDER: Wolves and coyotes can look alike.

Wolves are protected by state and/or federal law and it is unlawful to shoot them. Coyote hunters need to take extra care to identify their target as wolves can look like coyotes, especially wolf pups in the mid-summer and fall. Report any wolf sightings or sign to ODFW online.

YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE Sea bird numbers are high along the coast this time of year, here to nest and brood young. Others are here to feed on fish or forage close to shore. Examples of birds that are here for nesting are common murres and cormorants (three species). The best place to see the birds that are here for nesting would be near rocky headlands and off-shore islands. Coquille Point in Bandon is a great place to find both of these habitats. The number of common murres, pigeon guillemots, cormorants and other nesting sea birds is impressive there.

Foraging birds include California brown pelicans, cormorants and western greebes. Great places to watch these birds and their activities are Coos Bay, near Charleston and the Coquille Bay near the harbor in Bandon. Feeding birds can be seen diving on bait fish in the bay and sometimes working in unison to corral fish near shore. Occasionally other animals get in on the action when foraging birds have located bait fish. Seals, sealions, porpoise and even whales will go after these fish as birds are mounting attacks from above.
