With the advent of radar, GPS and other advanced navigation tools, lighthouses no longer need to perform the same function they once did; guiding ships to safety. Instead, they have been preserved as historic monuments; reminding us of a time when shipping and sailing were more perilous activities.

Yaquina Head is a headland extending into the Pacific Ocean on the Oregon Coast. It is managed as a natural area by the United States Bureau of Land Management. In 1980 the United States Congress named the 95 acre headland as an Outstanding Natural Area. The area consists of conifer forests, grassland meadows, bluffs and beaches. At the far end of the headland is the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. This guano covered rock covered with common murre and Brandt's cormorants was photographed at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area near Newport, Oregon, USA.

The Heceta Head Lighthouse, built in 1894 and on the National Register of Historic Places, is still a working lighthouse.

The Western Sandpiper (Calidris mauri) is a small shorebird with dark legs and a short, thin, tapered bill. They are speckled brown on top and white underneath. Their breeding habitat is the tundra in eastern Siberia and Alaska. The western sandpiper builds its nest on the ground usually under vegetation. These birds are migratory, traveling to both coasts of North America and South America. During migration the western sandpiper forages on mudflats for mollusks, small crustaceans and insects. These western sandpipers were photographed while foraging on Heceta Beach at Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park near Florence, Oregon, USA.

The American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is a large passerine bird common throughout much of North America. The American crow is black, with iridescent feathers. It looks like the Common Raven (Corvus Corax) but is much smaller in size. The American crow was first described by the German ornithologist and pastor Christian Ludwig Brehm in 1822. It is an omnivorous bird and will feed on anything it can find through scavenging or hunting. The intelligent crow is able to modify and use natural tools to obtain food. American crows reach breeding age at two years or more but most do not breed until they are four or five years old. The nesting season starts in early April with birds building stick nests in trees and bushes. A typical clutch is from three to six eggs which are incubated for 18 days. Fledging takes place about 36 days after hatching. This American crow was photographed on the beach at Heceta Head State Park near Florence, Oregon, USA.

The Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus bachmani) is a distinctive black bird with a red bill and red-orange eye that inhabits the rocky shorelines of western North America. It ranges from the Aleutian Islands of Alaska to the coast of the Baja California peninsula. The black oystercatcher is not considered a threatened species; however, it is of high conservation concern throughout its range. Its global population size is estimated between 8,900 to 11,000 birds. The diet of the black oystercatcher consists of a variety of invertebrate marine life that clings to the rocks below the high tide line. This includes mussels, whelks and limpets but rarely oysters. This black oystercatcher was photographed while looking for food among the rocks at Heceta Beach in Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park near Florence, Oregon, USA.
