Field Notes Dory Bell June 16, 1989 nests with comparable-aged chicks. Mike picked me up from Whitcomb Island (Grays Harbor, WA) at 10:00. On ride back to Markham I saw a couple Cassin's Auklets on the harbor. Spent rest of day at the Coast Oyster Plant, Markham, preparing the gulls. Saw several Caspian Terns, gulls along the slough there, plus a Bald Eagle. Rufous Hummingbirds, Barn, Cliff & Rough-winged Swallows. On the islands in Grays Harbor I also saw an occasional occasional long-billed Curlew, and ad. Ring-billed gulls that make me believe they might be nesting out there. Drove to Olympia, WA, met Mike Graham & at his boat. We went for a ride in his skiff - a beautiful sweet, calm evening on the water. June 17, 1989 08:30 - Trapping gulls at the Port of Olympia Warehouse next to the Dept. of Wildlife's office. Caught a male (OAB 501) off 3 egg nest with pipping eggs [nest 3] right away, but nothing else for the rest of the day. Left my walk-in traps on nests 1 + 2 overnight. Mike Graham & I went for another evening cruise in his 14' skiff "Brown Trout". Weather had been rainy, but it cleared by evening
