Field Notes

June 18, 1989,
Caught a female in trap over nest #1 (040 502).
She was the loud one. Also has darker 1st tips!
So much for pure Glencross-wings in Olympia.
Drove from Olympia to Neah Bay, WA.
Arrived in Neah Bay about 19:00.
Was sitting in MAKAH CAFE with a view of the
bay when an ad. Bald Eagle came stooping down
upon an Osprey. The Osprey dropped something
which the Eagle picked out of the water. As the
eagle flew away the Osprey made one long shallow
strop at. The eagle landed on an old piling +
sat for about an hour. Could not see if it ate
anything.
June 19, 1989
Met Bob Paine + his group (Tim Wosten, Sarah,
Liz) from U of W. at Al's Big Salmon at
12:15. We got the stuff out, and Al took us
out in his dory to Tatoosh Island, off Cape Flattery.
Rain a rough water. But out the island, partial
clearing. Once again, loads of gulls loafing at
the beach (+ 200). Pelagic ternants on the rocks.
Bands of crows about. We got set up by about
16:00. Bob caught a 15 lbs King Salmon for
dinner. I explored the island. Tree, Violet-green
+ Barn Swallows about the buildings. Apparently
the Barn Swallows are having a rough time
nest building because of the dry spring. Song +
