Field Notes July 21, 1989 They took 10 eaglets. Some nests had young too near fledging to take, others had 2 1/2 week old young. Wide range of ages. Most eagles were taken from the area + islands around Golden Channel. Also heard the Peregrines in the Scott Islands appear to be holding their own. Anyway, Mr. Sunquist gave me the name of a fellow in Winter Harbor to contact (Dennis Grant 86-4219), and the BC fisheries people {Greg Seward 949-6422} 7070 Shonchit; + Allister Thompson (hm 949-8210)}. I stopped by their office in the afternoon, and Mr. Seward said he thought Thompson could take me with on patrol tomorrow to collect gulls. We had another great dinner at Tex & Sannie's, after picking cherries for them, and enjoying good conversation and company. Turns out, Tex's parents were the original Lyon-family founders of Port Hardy. Rained pretty much all day today. July 22, 1989 Met Alistair Thompson at the Dept. Fisheries & Oceans office in Port Hardy @ 08:00. Nice fellow, young. (Should say, I woke 04:00 when Tex got up. Couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up @ 05:00. Beautiful sunrise over the mainland mountains. Great view from Tex's kitchen window. Tex + his friends went off fishing @ 06:00). Anyway - Alistair & I launched the Hurricane 4/70 HP Johnson outboard. Alistair did his patrol. It was very foggy just off of Port Hardy (Hardy Bay and Goldator Channel)
