Field Notes Doug Bell June 23, 1988 meet Dr. Robert Paine (UW) for a trip to Tatoosh Island. So - things are shaping up. At Port of Olympia Jim Jackson said I should try Terminal #1 roofs - Lots of gulls. I went up there around 18:30 - set out 2 walk-in traps on nests with eggs. One nest 4/3 eggs and one nest 4/4 eggs! (Photographed) Went to dinner. Came back, but no luck, birds had not entered traps yet. So I took 'em down, decided to try my moose-rings tomorrow. Port of Olympia has changed considerably since I was first here several years ago. The field I trapped in then is now a log-staging area. The depression-field near the treatment plant is drier, smaller. No more gulls nesting on the ground, just one polo-mester. The roof of Terminal 1 has indeed many gull nests. Every nest seems to be with eggs only. Common Nighthawks above the Port at dusk. Spent the night at Holly Motel (24.79) June 24, 1988 10:45 - Set my five moose-ring traps over nests on Terminal-1 roof at Port of Olympia. All 5 nests had 3 eggs each. Weather is hot, sunny. Some wind, but not much. Trapped all day. First time I went up on the roof I caught one male (343); reset mooses. Next time up two birds were caught (344 ♀ - mate to 343), and 345 ♂. Next time up two more were caught (346 ♀, 347 ♀)
