Field Notes Doug Bell June 7 1986 11:00 - 11:45 at cliffs along Eel River at Holmes, Humboldt Co. CA. Took a couple pictures of the most likely nest cliff. Very strong wind. No trucks working the gravel bars. I scrutinized the cliffs for quite awhile, but absolutely no sign of any peregrine falcons. We drove on. 12:30 - 13:30 at Scotia Bluffs, along Eel River, N.E. Rio Dell, Humboldt Co., CA. These bluffs have always looked promising, with the best cliffs being the most "downriver" ones. Some good trees growing out from scattered ledges, but no great potholes visible anywhere. These cliffs, like those at Holmes, are of a soft sandstone which flakes away in large sheets with each passing winter. Looked real hard, but no sign of peregrines. Ravens & turkey vultures, great blue herons flying along the river. Calif. Quail & lesser goldfinches singing in brush on river's edge. 15:00 - 16:00 Looking over Trinidad Bay, CA for possible gull hunting. After going back to Arcata and arranging accommodation, went back to Trinidad to eat. From 19:40 - sunset (21:00) walked around Trinidad Head with Maren. Saw: Pelagic, Brandts, Double-crested Cormorants & nothing obvious thereof on offshore rocks. Pigeon guillemot in Bay. Common Murres. Lots of Western Gulls about. A positive sign. Glaucous-winged Gull flew by too! On Trinidad Head Trail Maren and I saw
