Field Notes Doug Bell June 23, 1987 cont. on the bay. Tried to moose the CWG (bread as bait, but no luck). Went on to Oceanide, Oregon. Saw another GWG, and watched it flying all the way out to the first large rock of Three Arches Natl. Wild. Refuge, just so. of Cape Meares. There are literally thousands upon thousands of birds out on those rocks; Murres, Cormerants + Gulls visible from shore. At about 15:30 I proceeded on to Cape Meares. Went out to the lighthouse. Sunny but very windy day. Saw several Tufted Puffins coming about the steep North face cliffs of the cape. Again, on the offsharo rocks "unmountable" numbers of Common Murres resting. Also saw another GWG fly over, and many WG's. Drove down to Tillamook Spit, and walked from the parking lot about 1 1/2 miles north along spit to the start of the hills ad forest. Positioned myself along the west dune face and waited for gulls. Collected "3 for 3" Western Gulls (DAB 197-199), Then from at around 17:20. After taking care of these I counted "flyngs". The wind was very strong out of the Northwest, so gulls were moving at dune height northerly, into the wind. From 18:00-18:30 aswn counted 97 WG's, 14 jur + inn - WG's, and 4 jim GWG's. Also saw Double-crested Cormerants, Brown-headed Gurlinds, Benapanti Gulls, American Goldfinches, Olive-sided flystheiss, White-crowned Sparrows, Flicker, Marsh Hurrees carrying vole in foot ; on the bay side saw 2 snowy plovers, 2 western sandpipers, mallnrels, Cositan Terns.
