FIELD NOTES
Doug Bell
June 9, 1985
LOCATION: West Bay Drive, old dock & pier
next to small island. across from port
of Olympia. Olympia, WA.
TIME: 14:00 - 15:30
Talked to Steve Speich this morning. Now
trapping on old pier again. Set trap over different
3-egg nest from yesterday. After an hour still
no luck, moved entrance to trap around. Birds
refused to go in. Set second trap over the 1-egg
nest. A bird went in almost immediately, but ran
out when I rustled. Tried again-same thing. This
bird is desperate to get into nest though. Moved entrance
of trap around towards my direction. This time it
worked - caught the bird - a ♀ (PB 024) - she has
an egg in her clutch!
