FIELD NOTES Doug Bell cont June 20, 1986 Census of gull nests on Whitcomb Island, Grays Harbor, WA: (encompassing ca. 1/4 to 1/5 of all nests on the island) Nest Status Number of Nests Totals empty TII 11 7 1 egg TII TII 10 2 eggs TII XII TII XII XII 1 26 3 " TII TII TII TII 11 22 1 chick TII IIII 9 2 chicks TII XII 11 12 3 " TII TII 10 1 egg 2 chicks TII 11 7 egg 1 chick 11 2 1 dead chick 1 106 nests. After censusing I set out to trap birds in colony B. I had poor success, catching only one bird (?) off of a 3 egg nest (eggs not taken) - DAB 104. As time was getting advanced I got the gun and collected 2 other birds at this colony site (DAB 105, 106). I fired once with the 410, and 4 times with the 16 guage to down the 2 birds. Poor shooting!
