Field Notes Doug Bell June 26, 1986 caught her (OAB 113). I took her 3 eggs too. After packing everything up Joe Galusha took us off the island in his Boston whaler. We went back to the boat ramp at Sequim Bay State Park. On leaving Protection Island, just outside the marina, I again as last year, saw a pair of Harlequin Ducks. Maren & I left Sequim Bay at 12:15, heading south. We were in Olympia by about 15:30. Left Olympia at 16:15, drove to Willapa Natl Wild Refuge Headquarters (Ilwaco, WA) by about 18:10, then went on to Rockaway, Oregon (20 mi N. Tillamook), arriving about 21:30. June 27, 1986 Went from Rockaway, OR to Crescent City, CA today. Picked up my "freezer" gulls in Tillamook County Hospital and at the OSU Marine Science Lab in Newport, OR. Left a message there for Roy Lowe. The gulls at Yaquina Head, OR were making good nesting progress. Over half of the nests had chicks ranging in age from fresh to 2 weeks old. Saw good Westers with dark irides, and good Glaucous (or hybrid?) with light irides & yellow eye rings. One pair near the lighthouse had a male light-plumaged gull with yellow eye ring, lighter darker irides, and a female with Wester character except for relatively darker irides. Lots of Pelagic ternal comments and brown Marres with chicks here too. White-crowned Sparrows singing.
