FIELD NOTES DOUG BELL June 11, 1986 fantastic gull nest (Western) on one of the pilings - looks perfect, took a picture. We went north through Coos Bay to Reedsport, ORE. Called Jon Johnson (ORE Fish & Wildlife), he gave directions to dump and to beach on 237 (excluded area). We went to dump - no gulls. Then on to the beach via 237 - good dirt road ca. 5 miles. Great beach locality - where creek empties into ocean about 25 gulls were milling about. But all immatures - no adults. Reedsport is practically in middle of Oregon Dunes - where there are no gull nesting areas. So - we decided to go back south to Bandon. This we did. (By the way - saw an Osprey catch a fish in surf out at beach off 237). We camped at Bullards Beach St. Park, just north of Coquille R. and Bandon. Lesser Nighthawks could be heard & seen skirting across the sky. June 12, 1986 Up early, packed. Drove to Bandon, checked with Police about shooting at dump. Went to dump. Poor place to shoot gulls - guy there told us we'd have to contact County Court House in Coquille. We went back to Bandon city. I looked around, checked with fishermen & Pat Commission. Nobody going out. We then drove south on Beach Loop Road - many large offshore rocks just south of south jetty. Many gulls - colonies on 2 big grassy rocks - almost seem reachable by foot at low tide (Oregon Island National Wildlife Refuge). Common & Marre colonies also present. But no place to shoot along these beaches - too many people, too many houses. But I'll have to collect at Bandon someday -
