BLM photo: Shannon BradleyThe BLM frequently checks the exterior of Oregon’s tallest lighthouse, built in the early 1870s, to make sure the cast iron brackets are holding up to the harsh coastal conditions.Normally, employees or contractors are forced to use binoculars for their inspections, or dangle over the edge of the 93-foot-tall lighthouse using ropes.“We don’t have a ladder to get that high,” said Matthew Betenson, manager of the Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area.This was the first time the agency used an aerial drone for the inspection. The flight was first thing in the morning on Sunday and only possible this time of year when it wouldn’t affect wildlife like seabirds or seals.Use of drones, or even kites, by the public at Yaquina Head is prohibited.This was also the first time inspectors were able to inspect the roof.Overall, everyone was happy they didn’t see any cracking or excessive rusting on the iconic Oregon Coast lighthouse, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.“We have a duty to protect it,” said Betenson.📍 Visit Yaquina Head: on.doi.gov/2G2Jmfo📲 Virtual lighthouse tour: youtu.be/vR3p4p2FKNU Photo/video archive: bit.ly/2MsH2TA🚙 Google Street View on Lighthouse Drive: goo.gl/KWi6wiBLM #drone stories ⤵- Drone flights doubled in 2018 for Department of Interior: bit.ly/2AJSDFE- Taking flight: BLM drones go local goo.gl/eDea2p- See a prescribed burn from the air: bit.ly/2mhgU2x- Infrared drone video from above an Oregon wildfire goo.gl/qjJjPZ- 4 ways drones are being used to fight wildfires: goo.gl/BaK85wMore Yaquina links:👏 Rescued seal pup released: goo.gl/Y8gPFs😮 Gray whales come close to shore at Yaquina: bit.ly/2zkum8J Seabirds vs. birds of prey gallery: goo.gl/KWxbsH🌅 Sunset #360video timelapse: youtu.be/mn5UmqRdQMQ🌐 360° inside tide pools: youtu.be/1cm8f53qFXs |
