Field Notes Doug Bell July 22, 1989 Pine Island, in Queen Charlotte Strait, B.C.. During the shooting about 60 GWh's were scared up from the rocks. Black Oystercatchers (a pair) was also present. Alastair Thompson had to drop me off on the help-covered rocks so I could pick up a couple gulls. Fired 8 shots for 6 lunch. On the trip back we passed about 1000 northern phalaropes, feeding on the surface near a large kelp bed. The weather stayed unbelievable clear and calm. In the afternoon I did up my gulls at Tex's Sunnis. Tex had been successful fishing, so we were treated to a show of Bald eagles picking up a lunching over fish scraps off the beach. At one point, 5 eagles stood in the beach, eyeing one another over a fish head. 6/8 shots July 23, 1989 Up at 07:30. During breakfast at Tex's Sunnis we saw an eagle chase an osprey over Beaver Harbours. At mid-morning I went with Tex in his boat out on Beaver Harbour to pick up his crab pots. Three Glaucous-winged Gulls on the beach (!). Forgot to mention, for the night of July 21st, I recorded 2 GW's on Tex's beach. They were mouwing the longest time with one another, long calling, etc. I thought they were trying to pair, but at one point they started fighting, grappling, etc. Then they spent a long time
