Field Notes Doug Bell July 4, 1989 08:45 - 11:00 - Dr the Sotter to Guille I. Overcast, some rain & wind, but the water stayed pretty calm. We drove the back way there -> around Lopez I., and the quick way home. Saw several groups (2-3) Marbled Murrelets, many Rhinos. Anhells and quites about 6 Bald Eagles in all during the trip. A few D-L Common Rats on Guille I's west south side. Collected 6 gulls (DAB 539 - 544), first shot took 2 gulls, but rest were singles and many misses. Most gulls on Guille I. appeared to be in eggs. Saw a pair of Heerman's Gulls on the Marine Lab dock. Drove out to Lime Kiln Point, San Juan I., towards evening. Heard Swainson's Thrushes, saw Rufous-sided Towhees, one & Red-tailed Hawk, Calif. Quail, and Savannah Sparrows. Forgot to mention - at 4th July parade in Friday Hbr., a pair of Violet-green Swallows had their nest of 4 young wedged between some metal plates of an ice to a store. The parents still tried to feed offspring, but often did not zoom in over the heads of all the bystanders on the sidewalk. Nice fireworks display in Friday Hbr. on the eve. We had a great view from the Marine Lab. Could hear Common Nighthawks. July 5, 1989 From 08:45 - 10:15, drove in the Sotter from Friday Hbr. c San Juan Co., WA north to White Rock near Flattop I.
