the tent, preparing gulls. Worked from 13:00-19:30
to do 9 gulls. Rained all day, poor visibility. Sunset
was not visible. Still, I went to my usual spot to watch gulls & auklets. Got very close
views of 3 Rhino. Auklets as they landed and waited
at their favoured right under my spot.

Up at 06:30 to begin packing up camp. The weather
has lifted somewhat, so I can see the mainland and
even parts of the Olympics. I hope the helicopter can
pick me up at 09:00. At least it's not raining while
I pack the tents. Jim Mott showed up at 09:05.
Off I went, probably to the delight of that one
pair of gulls with their chick. We circled around
Destrehan, and I got some nice shots of the island.
Drove to Olympia, then Seattle.

Went to Burke Museum (after dropping off the
car for major left-front drive shaft repair). Met

Then went to Bob Paine's lab. Talked to him &
Mimi Kochl for awhile.
