Sea Aquarium in South Beach (Newport, Oregon)
The Newport Sea Aquarium is rated as one of the top 10 in
the nation, it is informative, not too large and has a
layout that is easy to walk with lots of volunteers to
answer questions.
This Otter stayed
in front of the Plexi glass window, in the water,
showing off for the school kids that where on a field trip,
it was funny to watch and great entertainment for me
too.
Sea Birds
As we turned the corner to the live fish tanks there were
divers in feeding the fish, hope you can see one of them
