Field Notes Doug Bell July 23, 1988 Glamorous-winged Gull flying up Marslett Inlet. July 24, 1988 Spent night at Copper House B+B (David Phillips) at the Wharf of Marsett. ($50.00 a night) - but this was to be the nicest B+B we've ever stayed at - and it was worth it to be out of the rain. David Phillips had a number of contacts which I'm trying to get out to gull colonies. Since it is [illegible] and the weather is mixed, and no one official can be readed until Monday, we've decided to go hiking out to Tow Hill at Naikoon Provincial Park. We parked at the lot just E of Tow Hill, followed the river out to its mouth. saw a family of 4 Winter Wrens + 1 ad. in the brush. Quite cute. Lots of orchids along the trail. The beach just north of Tow Hill stretches out to Rose Point over many miles, sweeping to the NE. Directly behind the low flat beach [illegible] is the forest. We hiked to the north of the river - which due to the dark cedar tannins flowing from it (it looks like tea) turns the ocean waves brown. Also strange rock formations - smoothed lava with 1 isls and next tidepool. Common Loon, White-winged Scoter, Red-breasted Merganser feeling just offshore. 1 ad. GWC flew by, Song Sparrows in brush up from the rocky coast. Lots of NW Crows. We settled along the river - watched the young crows begging their adults. All different sounding by voices. A sub-ad.
