FIELD NOTES Doug Bell June 13 - cont of shooting, but very helpful. Went up to Port Orford, a pier in the harbor has a huge crane which lowers all fishing boats into the water. Otherwise the boats are kept up on the pier. A deckhand for the Moxie (walter) said I could go out with the skipper tomorrow at 5:30am to shoot grills, if it wasn't too windy. (as it is today - gale force winds !). Spent rest of the day bird watching. Cannon Beach Wayside: Wrentits; Rufous Hummers, Western Gulls, Robins, Barn Swallows. Harbor of Port Orford: Pigeon Red-throated Loon Common Loon Guillemots, Common Murre", Common Sooty - Humming Ntn: Surinam's Thrush, Black-headed Grosbeak, Western Tanager!, Barn & Cliff Swallows, Steller Jays, Ravens. Song Sparrows. At swampy lake in Port Orford saw real nice Yellowthroat, Red-Wings, Kingfisher, Tree Swallows. June 14, 1987 - Sunday. No go with the boat. Pete Barrington (Moxie) couldn't go out because the wind was really blowing. He suggested I try Don Anderson's Boat. Thought Don would be up at the Cafe. Went there, no go. But met a rancher, Bob McKenzie, who said I could shoot on his property at mouth of Elk River, about 2 mi. North of Port Orford & 3 mi south of Cape Blanco. Went out there. Lots of gulls on the river bathing. Also Ravens, Osprey, Kilder, Tree Swallows, Barn & Rough-winged Swallows. Shot 5 gulls Between 10:00 AM & 11:30AM. (DAB 170-174).
