Field Notes Doug Bell June 26, 1987 - cut dredging spills. It looks like there are fewer nests on the south beach [eastern and/ then previously. About 1 nest for every 10 meters linear distance. The dredge spills seem to have more nests - at least 24 on the east + southern perimeter (counted 64 flying gulls over this area). The grass is in many places almost waste high. Here on such areas there are fewer nests, if any. Traces of porcupine sign - tracks, ect. There really is no large term colony any more, although I did count about 30 Caspian Terns nesting on sands. Their former beach is covered in driftwood. The northeast corner, grassy flat area on the eastern end had about 144 gulls sitting and milling about - all potential nesters. The northern dredge perimeter had about 64 gulls in residence. There might be some isolated nests here there - at least 2 on the half-wood fillings. Also counted 59 Canada Geese in at least 10 family groups. Osprey flew overhead. Starlings, Grouse + Barn Swallows in residence. Weather has been clear, sunny + windy so far. 17:00-18:40 - counted nests + landed 175+8 young along the northern driftwood + grassy space just west of campsite. This is along the middle portion of East End Island. The swath was about 100 m long and 20 m wide that was surveyed: Nests: 2 eggs : 1 1 chick : 6 3 eggs : 1 2 chicks : 7 2 & 1 ch : 1 3 chicks : 8 1 & 1 ch : 1 2*ch : 10 1 & 2 ch : 1 Banded: 956-10.D33 to 54 WG: 33-38 +10099 +42-54 + 99 6 WG: 39-41
