Sun Eclipse on the Water in a Kayak

The Siletz Moorage is offering Kayak and Canoe Rentals, and Guided Tours through the heart of Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge during the Solar Eclipse.
The channels and tidal sloughs at Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge are a great place to experience nature and the Solar Eclipse from a kayak or canoe.

Siletz Bay is one of numerous estuaries located along Hwy 101. On either side of the highway, starched skeleton trees jut forth from the estuary and are reminiscent of a time when the salt marsh was diked for pasture. Osprey, Red-tailed Hawk and occasionally Bald Eagles are seen roosting at the top of these snags. Great Blue Heron, Great Egret can be seen foraging in the tidally influenced waters. Songbird choruses the paddlers include the Purple Martin, Song Sparrow, Marsh and Pacific Wren, Pacific-slope Flycatcher and Cedar Waxwing.

Solar Eclipse Glasses

When it comes to viewing the 2017 Solar Eclipse, nothing is more important than safety. Solar Eclipse glasses are a must.
Oregon Coast Businesses can take advantage by bulk purchasing of Solar Eclipse Glasses.
Looking directly at the Sun is unsafe except during the brief total phase of a solar eclipse (“totality”), when the Moon entirely blocks the Sun’s bright face.

The only safe way to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed Sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses” or handheld solar viewers. Ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones, are not safe for looking at the Sun.

Four manufacturers have certified to meet the ISO 12312-2 international standard for such products:
1. Rainbow Symphony
2. American Paper Optics
3. Thousand Oaks Optical
4. TSE 17
