Field Notes Doug Bell May 18, 1988 today is clear, sunny and calm. After trying for the other bird I went back to the house, then down to the boat to see Dave Lewis off. They left about 9:30. I then went back to work gull trapping. Set 3 moose traps out near the lighthouse. Caught a female right away DAB 288. Then set a walk-in trap out west of the houses. Caught a male right away 289. Then went back to the mooses - captured a female off a 3 egg nest 290. Back to the walk-in, caught female 291 (mate of 289). Back to the mooses - caught the male of (290)=292.
