Field Notes Doug Bell June 20, 1989 On our way back to the house we had Petrel fletting about no bibe rats. We landed the petrels we had released them. In bed by about 2:00 am. June 21, 1989 Went down to the beach to collect gulls at 08:00. Collected 7 birds on 3 shots - 3 pairs of gulls and one single. Most pairs I had tipped-out. Apparently, Bob Pair heard a Peregrine cackle after I fired the first shot. The old bird took off and flew away. I didn't even see it. Bob found a fresh-killed Rhino. Ankle - totally cleaned out by the Peregrine. As I was cutting up the gulls one ad. Bald Eagle flew over the island. Also, Black Swifts were coursing overhead. Saw several Rufous- Hummigbirds. Bob, and I, think the Tufted Puffin population has increased. The Peregrines have disappeared from Cape Flattery (said Ulrich Wilson), and in WA many pairs have failed. Still, they effect 7 young from some known copies. At least, all indications show that the Peregrines are not nesting at Cape Flattery this year. Saw an Orange-crowned Warbler in the brush. Spent the afternoon preparing the gulls. The Beach Area where the birds are from is also the landing spot, and has the old landing screen on a cliff above it. The beach connects Tatoosh I. with what they call North Island, a smaller rock. Bob
