Field Notes Doug Bell May 29, 1984 - cont pairs. While I was in the blind one of the campers came out and walked clear around the west end of the island. He did exactly what I told him not to do! The idiot. So when he came back in my direction I chewed him out for disturbing the entire island. He must have scared up about 400 gulls and 100 lemonant at one time in the far west end. Anyway, I cleared out my blind, packed up camp and got ready to leave at high tide. Wandered around the middle portion of the island. Scared up some fresh-fledged Savannah Sparrows in the willow area. Saw Horned Larks on table-dredge area. Violet-green Swallows, Bank Rough- winged & Barn Swallow at pier pilings. pilings. Starlings nesting in holes of pier ruins. Small mammal - rat size - scampered out from under my feet (young Nutria^2). Saw the 3 Black Brant and a couple dusky Canada Geese on mud flats west of pier. Common Loon, in breeding plumage, on water. Fair numbers of greater Scaup (>100), some lesser Scaup, too. Small group (7 individuals) of Least Sandpipers on beach. And Killdeer definitely nesting on the island. Yellow Warblers frequent the trees (conifers) at my campsite.
