Field Notes D.A. Bell April 9, 1990 ca. 16:30-17:30 Todd and I went to the top of Goat Rock, and set up our lines. No sign of peregrines. I rappelled down the cliff first, to the large pothole. The pothole looked very deserted. Only tracks of centipede in the sand and a few old bleached bones. No scrape, and no real "falcon" footprints". Two small patches of whitewash, both looked rather old. After I went down, I scrambled back around the rock to the top and let Todd try repelling. He did just fine. During our whole stay on the rock no peregrines appeared. 19:30 on our drive out we came upon a single Wild Turkey and ca. 20 deer near the ranch gate. April 10, 1990 Went to the Bay Bridge, SF. Boy, to collect Peregrine Falcon eggs with the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group. David Gregoire estimates the pair began hard incubation on Monday, March 26, 1990. Met Brian Walton, David Gregoire, Lee Aulman, and a host of newspaper reporters at the Cal. Trans building beneath the bridge in SF. KGO Newstalk Radio, KGO- Ch. 7 news, SF Examiner, and National Geographic were all there. We proceeded to the central cement pillar anchorages of the bridge, in the middle of the suspension portion. The falcons were in the same metal box beneath the east catwalk below the lower deck of the bridge.
