Field Notes Doug Bell May 28, 1989 I asked him what he was doing, just kind of a heavy-set guy, rather slow, red-neck. He said if this was a protected island, why isn't it posted. The evening was just beautiful. Rather calm, broken sky. The gulls settled in next to the tent very well. Even had a pair come right under the window. Canada geese landed on the flats in the gull colony. On my way back to camp I passed 3 dead Sea Lions on south beach. Savannah Sparrows are in the marsh habitat and on the dog bridge table.

This colony is definitely a later colony than the gulls nesting in the middle area. Also surveyed the eastern end for overall proportions of W6:H:GW (Western : Hybrid : Glaucous-winged Gulls). 14:30 - 16:00. At Blind 3 deciphering remaining gull
