Field Notes Doug Bell June 19, 1988 [illegible] The men are still painting it - they were doing this last year too. Walked out on the bridge to count gull nests. One bridge worker said they had removed gull eggs from bridge & put them under chickens. I counted nests on pilings below and tried to determine morphotype - most look like WG's. One gull was dead, hanging from 50 feet of fishing line which got caught in an overhead wire. Drove from Newport to Tillamook Bay, over 3 capes scenic route (Cape Kiwanda, Lookout & Meares). The three-capes route took only 29 minutes to get to the bay. Promptly saw a Glaucesus-wing gull fly overhead. 14:40 - at collecting collecting spot on peninsula. Today is Sunday - and it's crowded out here. Just too many people - how utterly frustrating!! Perfect day for collecting, strong wind, clear, sunny. Gulls are skimming the dune tops. Tried to set up to shoot, but people kept coming by. Over about 1 1/2 hours counted roughly 146 adult Western Gulls; 9 adult Glaucesus-winged Gulls; 4 adult Hybrid Gulls. In addition, probably another 8 sub-adult Glaucesus-wings and 8 sub-ad. hybrids flew past (by subadult I am counting 3/4 year old birds that are nearly ad. in plumage. Probably 40 such Westerns flew past. One ad. pair of Glaucesus-wing flew past together, included in the above total, and one ad. w/ 2 subadults. Many Song Sparrows in
