Field Notes Doug Bell June 21, 1989 says the Peregrines like to perch on a small islet/ cliff in between North Island and the main island. The route to Strawberry Point (the island to the west of Totoosh) is also over the beach area. Strawberry can only be reached at low tide. From 24:00 - 01:00 hrs, we mist-netted petrels again. Beautiful moon rise over Cape Platting. Caught 17 Leach's Petrels & 5 Fork-tailed Petrels, as well as several Lassin' Auklets and 1 Rhinoceros Auklet. June 22, 1989 Went down to beach area to collect gulls from blind. Shot 2 pairs (OAB 511-514) on 2 shots. Then went out to Tote Point / the southern edge of Totoosh Island. Collected two singles on one shot (OAB 515, 516), but was really trying to get 4 birds on one shot. It was 2 hybrid pairs (BW/H x CW9) & BW x H). Then shot at another pair, got both, but 1/1 one bird fell in a cliff & could not be retrieved. Got its mate through (DWB 517). Then shot its 1/1 mate to 515 (518). Spent rest of day preparing gulls. Liz & Sara found an albino Pigeon Guillemote out at Tote Point. Trapped Petrels at Tote Point again from 24:00 - 01:00 (29 Leach's & 3 Fork-tailed; no Auklets.
