Field Notes
Doug Bell
13 June 1988 - can't
hear the wind through his wings, then a quick
slap. He came up with a small bird. I saw
it flying up from the ground as the ternel went
into his stop. I thin it was something like a pipit -
unusual though. Perhaps just a finch. At any rate,
the ternel took it back to the cliff and, although
I lost sight of him, may have transferred it to
the ed &. Both birds appeared in the same tree
together. No further eyass screaming was heard. Well,
at least they have one fledged young - probably ternel.
Left by 0800 for Emake. 12:00-13:00 - walked out
to the large sea rock/cliff north of Big lagoon and
south of Humboldt Lagoon. Only a few gulls, surf
scoters, min. double-crested cormorants. No falcons.
14:00-15:30 - on Split Rock, so. of Klamath River
mouth. No falcons. Here it's warm but some boy two
that stops right on the shore. (Forget to mention -
it was warm a pleasant last night at Hobos - almost
no wind. Only river fog in morning, lifting.
Also lots of warbling meeros in the poplars(alders).
Thibby-overgrown trail to split rock. Good no. of song
sparrows, refore hammers.
15:30-21:00 Drove from Split Rock (So. of Klamath R.
CA) to Charleston, OR. The southern Oregon coast is
spectacular. The rocks, cliffs and sea-stacks are immense-
crossed out text
State Park lots of gulls (so.
of Pistol River). Not a bad place to shoot either.
