A big part of Oregon’s Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area tourist appeal had to do with the duckbill rock formation that sat by Oregon’s coastline. It was popular among tourists and photographers alike. Who wouldn’t be charmed by this smiling duck rock?

A group of vandals apparently. August 29, 2016 would mark the day that this ancient duck head would tumble to the ground and meet its demise. The rag-tag group responsible for the destruction claimed they were doing it out of concern for the public’s safety, as a friend of theirs had recently broken their leg while climbing the formation.
