Today the wind is coming strong from the north and east.  The waves are building as the warmer surface water gets piled up along the shore.  Birds take advantage of the updrafts along the dunes and bluffs to fly up and down the coastline in search of food.  The strong winds blow sand off the beach and deposit it in the lee of the dunes and the parking lot.  There is a filming company working here today.  I hear it's a film involving Richard Dreyfuss.
