Field Notes Doug Bell July 12, 1989 had left at 09:00, returned to Bamfield by 11:00. Then went with Alan Burger's seabird class @ 13:30 on the MV Alta for a trip to Sealord Rocks. But the weather turned very windy, and we turned back because of high waves outside of Barkly Sound. Went instead back to Baeira Rocks. Along the way saw several Pelagic Cormorants, Marbled Murrelets, and Bald Eagles. Rain came in. At Baeria Rocks we saw, in addition to the species already mentioned: 3 Short-billed Dowitchers, about 15 Surfbrids, and a couple Black Turnstones. Weather was quite rainy today. July 13, 1989 at 09:30 Menen and I went in the UBC Whaler to Seabird Rocks. These rocks are in the ocean ~~~ SW of Cape Beale. Beautiful sunny day, and relatively calm ocean. Collected 2 gulls well away from the rocks (PAB 560, 561) on two shots. We could see Washington to the south (cape Flattery). A smaller-sized Grey Whale followed off us as we puttered about in the water to the lee of the rocks. Lots of sport fishermen out in boats. Rhinoseros Gullits & Marbled Murrelets on the waters. Several Tufted Puffins crossed our bow. Seabird Rocks are also rather small. But there is some grass topping what looks like a pile of boulders. Just a gorgeous day. The cliffs at Cape Beale don't look to bad. May have had Penguins at one time.
