Field Notes July 2, 1989 picked her up in Seattle), we drove out to Lime Kiln Point Lighthouse. Arrived at sunset (21:10). No Bald Eagle, no whales. Although some girls said they had seen Minkes & Orcas just before. July 3, 1989 In Friday Harbor this morning. Lots of Barns + Violet Green Swallows. At the Marine Lab: Terns w/ fledglings, House Wrens, N.W. Gulls, Kingfishers, White-crowned Sparrows, Gulls (GW). Went out in the Scoter at 14:00, headed north to Gull Rock & White Rock, both north, north-east of Flattop I. Lots of boats on the water. Too many to collect at the gull colony on Gull Rock. Actually, it seems as if fewer pairs are nesting there this year (maybe 12 pair on the NE side of Gull Rock). Oyster catchers also around. We drove across the strait to White Rock. Here, more 1/5 shots pair of gulls - all appear to be on eggs. When most boats were clear, I got out my new (used) Stevens 16-Gauge. Little rusty with my aim - 5 shots for one bird (018 & 538). Large assemblage of Harlequin Ducks on White Rock (20-25 birds). As we were waiting off the rock, a pod of Orcas moved through the strait. Several did spy-hopping, one played in help. One big daddy, couple smaller males, and assorted females. Three boats followed too closely. We were back at the lab around 16:30. [illegible]
