Field Notes Doug Bell July 2, 1988 Today is my sixth anniversary. Come to think of it, I've been away from Maren on 5 of our 6 wedding anniversaries. So not das. Mun - 08:30 - Went with Ann to the beach area (north end of main island, near the landing loom). Set up trap over 3 egg nest. Promptly caught a ♀ GWC/integrate (370). It's mate is a little reluctant to go into the trap. Some campers are on the beach which makes things a little uneasy. Cliff-nesting starlings here at north end. Frequency count - [illegible] math and/beach area mainland? GWC 1H 1X 1H 1H 111 H IN|IN 1 WG 1111 Trapping proved ineffective, so I brought out the gun. Collected a pair of gulls with one shot (♀ 37¹, ♂ 37²), then mate of 370 - a GWC ♀ 373. all this collecting was done in front of the beach campers. They seemed reasonable though. Finished collecting gulls around 11:30. Had the birds prepared by around 17:00. The others went fishing for tonight dinner. I went back to the beach to collect one more gull - preferably a Western type. One large male with dark tip kept hanging around a driftwood log just back in the strike grass from the beach. He was there over several days, and must have a nest
