Around 14:00 I gathered all my stuff together and began heading home... checked out the cliffs just east of Farneys Cove - some Pelagic Terns/nets nesting and found 2 gull nests - but no eggs yet. On ride home saw 10 Pigs - 2 checkered 2 black full grown; near airport; one black medium size over ridge; one black, one checkered; one black; one checkered; all medium size, and on the way to the mallows also 2 foxes - wow! Really tiny, colorful things. May 2, 1988 Got up at 6:00 with Karen & Kathy. Drove out ridge road to the west because the girls were checking Bishop Pine sap taps. Birds seen along the way: Rufous-sided Towhees, Scrub Jays, Ravens, Red-breasted Nuthatchers, Calif. Quail, fledgled Vireol. Saw another Island Fox on way back to residence. We then packed up our gear, and I drove the large truck back to the boat dock. Off the island by 13:30. Spent the night at Carpinteria State Beach ($2.00 fee.) May 3, 1988 Went to Anacapa Island with Park Service boat. Trapped gulls off nests in east-facing slope of East Island, about 200 yds from buildings. Lots of gulls on eggs - nests had 1-3 eggs.
