park

Today when I went down to the park for the second time today, it was cloudy and a little bit cold.
When I was out on the breakwater, I saw some ducks and sea gulls. I also saw a great blue heron on a post out in the water.
When I was on the sidewalk by sage beach, I saw an eagle on the side of sage rock.
When I was in the park, I saw some ducks out on the water.
When I was nearing the battle site bench, I saw some harlequins, buffleheads and goldeneyes out in the water by the shore.
When I was at the battle site bench, it was high tide but there was a tiny bit of beach left and there were some ducks on it.
When I was on the trail by the trail by the river, I heard something that sounded like a seal or sea lion but I didn’t see one out in the water.
When I was on the trail by the river, I saw nine swans, some ducks and a erasion wigeon on the other side of the river. I also saw some ducks on the side of the river I was on.
Starting from the trail by the river, I saw what looked like smoke to me for most of the rest of the way through the park.
Why was the eagle on the side of sage rock?
Why was the smoke in the forest?
Was someone having a fire somewhere and the smoke got blown into the park?
