Here’s a few snaps from the Port Orford Water Festival where the Oceanscape Network had an information table and activities yesterday. We’ll be out and about even more in the months ahead as the site gets closer to launching.

The Oceanscape Network is on the beautiful South Coast for the next two days! We’ll be attending the Port Orford Water Festival today so come by and say hello.

It must be springtime because the estuaries are busting out their colors. And it’s only gonna get better!

Spring marks the return of many of our migratory bird species, including this large scavenger who you may see drifting on updrafts over the coastal headlands or pausing to snack on any number of gross, smelly things to wash up on the beach. Well, they don’t have a glamorous job but someone’s gotta do it.  Do you know what kind of bird this is?

Last November, we offered you some tips on how to take great outdoor photos and videos. The response to that newsletter was very positive, so we’re following up with some recommendations on apps you can use with your smart device to make your photography more enjoyable and eye-catching.
