flexes [illegible] lower down, and sticks ones up towards throat. God,
I've gotten great views of her on a smag 60' away. No bombs.
Could even see the brown of her poop inside in the sun. No
joints in tend ad. either. Prey at eyrie: I Mabled Murrelett
+ 5 Ancient Murrelets. Chicks approx. 14 days old. We left
the eyrie at about 21:00 - so we spent ca. 5 hours at
the Radar Point Eyrie. Went back to Wooden Road, rested.
Hard Rufous-Hummingbird zip by (also recall seeing a Rufous
Hummor on Cox Island on 6-7-90). On walk back to
Beach in Lord's light we heard Hermit Thrushes singing - I
had also seen one at the Calin on Lord's Light. Arrived at
boat 21:53. Saw ad. Bald & ad GWs. Left Calin
dearch in Zodiac, headed out into the NW wind & waves.
The waves were in many directions, I swells probably out
of NW & W. But there weren't as many whitecaps as
the way out. Saw pair of GWG's on Dry's Head, +
3 Red-throated Zowns. Oh, also saw 3 oryst catchers +
2 Bald Eagles in Lord's Light. The GWs is a Deyz
Head - & is ad; & has gray on all rectrices.
