Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge

Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge of the Oregon Coast. It is one of six National Wildlife Refuges in the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Located on Cape Meares, the refuge was established in 1938 to protect a remnant of coastal old-growth forest and the surrounding habitat used by breeding seabirds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service )〕 The area provides a home for several threatened bird species, including marbled murrelets, bald eagles and peregrine falcons. Peregrines, once at the brink of extinction, have nested here since 1987.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service )〕 The refuge, with the exception of the Oregon Coast Trail, was designated a Research Natural Area in 1987.〔
The Cape Meares Light, which marked the cape at night from 1890 until 1963, is now open to the public. Three Arch Rocks National Wildlife Refuge and Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge are easily seen from the cape. It is the only point in the United States from which three refuges can be seen at the same time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cape Meares National Wildlife Refuge )
