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.
