Field Notes July 30, 1984 Left Sandspit in Dave's boat @ 11:30, but after we rounded the point and passed the airport the motor overheated (New Johnson 45 hp). Needed to get a lower pitch propeller, so returned to Sandspit. Left port at 15:00. Wind is to SE, but waves not bad. Motored down past Gray Bay to Cumshewa Island, where I collected 6 gulls (OAB-592-598). In all, about 60 GW's on Cumshewa I., small flock of loafers and about 25 Calif. Gulls. As we approached the island we began to see more birdlife - Rhino Auklet, 7 Murrelets, + Cassin's Auklet. Looked like just a handful of GW's were "spaced" on territory, but after I started shooting, & quite a few birds got up. Cumshewa I. is all large square rocks piled up. Surprisingly, I got 5 gulls off good patches! Still on eggs? Didn't see any chicks. Large kelp beds nearby, Oystercatchers on the rocks, too. We then headed past Cumshewa Island around Louise Island to Louise Narrows, where we stayed at a Fisheries Cabin. Beautiful place. Bald Eagles (young legging), Gulls, Ravens, Chestnut-backed Chickadees, Kingfisher, Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Moss carpeted creek. To the cabin is thru Carmichael Passage, right where Louise Narrows are located on the map. Northern Sea Lion ~~ Southern Sea Lion swam past. The crows arrived just before sunset, ca. 150, then left after
