At Cannon Beach (Haystack Rock) around 11am today, low tide. An adult common
murre was stranded on land in low tide. As you can imagine, it became a picture
taking fiasco; so, I told folks to stop and let him get back to water.
A couple guys insisted on forcing it to walk and even pushed it with their
hands to get him to move; such ignorance but understand the allure.
Anyway, how often does this occur? Is it common?
By the time he got to water he was exhausted. Should I have picked him up and
moved him to water?
He eventually caught a wave back to the Sea and I believe he was home again.
