Field Notes Doug Bell June 30, 1988 05:30 Bob Paine heard 2 Peregrines flying by this morning. I was up and out at the S end of Tatoosh Island to shoot. Collected 5 birds (DAB 360-364). During the course of shooting an ad. Bald Eagle flew over, first going west, then east. Finished shooting by 09:00. Prepared gulls until 15:30. Note Bob Paine's experiment with taints claws + feeding gulls. July 1, 1988 09:00-11:30 Went to area on west of island by the cistern to collect gulls. Tried shooting a couple pairs - collected first a male off a 3 egg nest (365), then a female (366) off a 3 egg nest. Waited for mates to settle back down, which only the mate of 366 did. Collected him (367). The female of 365, an intergrade SBC, was shot, but she rolled off a cliff into the sea. I then proceeded to collect two more gulls (368, 369). Wounded another and missed two. In all, 10 shots for 5 birds. Bob and Tim saw one of the Peregrines again today, and I found a Rhino-anklet kill of one near the cistern. Have seen a few pelicans on the island. Heard the calls of Least Petrel (Melachius series of notes) and the Fork-tailed Storm Petrel (kee-kee-kee-kee). It rained constantly all day today. By nightfall the soup had thickened which resulted in the Lighthouse casting an eerie light through the mist.
