Field Note Doug Bell June 26, 1988 09:00 Scanning SE colony - noted 31:10:3 W6:6WG. NW Colony 57:25:7 W6:H:6WG. In this colony noted another HxH pair ad 5 W6xWG pairs. June 27, 1988 Coast Oyster of South Bend, WA brought me out to Pine Island (Mr. Wayne Morris). Arrived 04:45 hrs. counted 160 agitated gulls in the dim morning light. First check of morphotype reveals 35:13:6 W6:H:GWG a second check reveals 32:20:8 W6:H:GWG. Count of total gulls: 194. Pairs? W6xWG: HxH: Collected five birds (048 351-355) on Pine Island (seven shots fired, lost one bird, obtained five). Occasional Caspian Terns come by. Saw an Western Gull carrying a smaller gull egg in bill. It proceeded to drop it upon landing until broken, then ate it. I almost suspect it was a Ring-billed Gull egg, as these birds are also around Pine Island. Pine Island is very small, it circumference could probably be walked in 15 minutes. The gulls are packed in thick here. Dave Eric was the boat driver and crew foreman for Coast Oyster today.
