It's not unusual to see Coast Guard helicopters all around the area both working and training. Among other things, Astoria is home to a Coast Guard Group/Air Station. This helicopter is headed home to its pad, which is nearby behind the wild trees and bushes at the edge of Young's Bay, which you see in the foreground.
