Field Notes Doug Bell June 4, 1989 There are definitely fewer gull nests on the south slopes of Yaquina Head this year. In fact, where there were about 10 nests there are now 2. Some of the rocks also have fewer nesters. June 5, 1989 05:30 Met Bob Looffel at the South Beach Marina. We launched his 14' Chris-Craft and headed out the bay. Thick fog, near misty drizzle, but no wind. Coast Guard said we could go past the jetty because the bar conditions were too rough. So we stayed between the jetties and I chummed gulls. Boat traffic was nearly miniscule, but the Corps of Engineers "Cedar Island" was dredging the entrance. From about 06:00 to 07:20 I collected 8 gulls (DAB 474-481) along the entrance jetties to Yaquina Bay, Lincoln Co., Oregon. Got 8 birds with 9 shots. Two were non-breeders, unfortunately. In addition, saw a Heerman's Gull, couple Brown Pelicans, a Jaeger, possible Elegant Tern. Common Murres feeding around us. Pigeon Guillemots on jetties. Saw several Green-backed Herons this morning on the compound of HMSL. 8/9 June 6, 1989 Drove from Newport, OR to South Bend, WA today. Saw a Bald Eagle (subad.) near Beaver, OR. Stopped at Tillamook Bay, intending to collect 1-2 Glaucous-winged Gulls on the spit. Warm,
