Field Notes Doug Bell May 30, 1989 101 is gorgeous. Saw pair Osprays south of Reeds port. May 31, 1989 Met Jan Hoddard at OIMB in Charleston, OR. Went over to the Coast Guards' ANT station to request the key to the Cape Arago Lighthouse from Chief Miller. Went out to the island from 10:00 - 15:15. Weather sunny, but extremely windy on the island (30 knots). Started checking hybrid types, set out 2 traps, specifically on nests that had hybrid or glaucous- winged gulls. Caught 2 pairs of gulls (OAB 469-472). One pair ♂ WG ♀ GW ; other ♂ GW ♀ H. Out of the entire island I identified only 2 other rather definite mixed pairs: a ♂ WG ♀ GW, and one ♂ GW ♀ WG. The latter pair is nesting on north side of base of peninsula, close to same place as last year. Most of the island's gulls appears to be good Westerns. The gulls have been forced somewhat off the peninsula because the Double-crested Cormorants have erected nests at the beginning of the peninsula. Last year this area had gulls on it. Other birds: Tufted Puffins - soaring back & forth in repetition in front of the cliffs. Pelagic Cormorants nesting on cliffs. Oystercatchers (1 pair) at the beach below the bridge. Tree Swallows + Barn Swallows, American Goldfinches, House Finches. Song Sparrows, Western Woodpeeces, Swainson's Thrushes on approach to bridge. I have the impression that more gulls are nesting
