Field Notes D.A. Bell June 12, 1990 Up late today 08:00. Slow going this morning, but at least it is clear & sunny. We loaded up the boat. I heard definite Willows Warbler & Varied Thrushes this morning, plus our usual Townsend's Warbler. We listened to radio broadcast - NW winds to 30 mph predicted. Oh well. We left lay headed W and around Lacey Island along W coast of Langara N to the Radar Point, and then the Light Station, at NW end of island. Saw one group of 4 Ancient Murrelets, several groups 1-3 Rhino Auklets (some in breeding), several groups of Tufted Puffins (one flock of 6), and a feeding group of Pelagics, GWS's & couple Black-legged Kittiwakes. In all ~20 Rhinos, 15 Tufted Puffins. On landing 12:35. We walked from landing (where boat, sled & boat are located) up a wooden road - in direction of Light Station. We walked about 12 min., saw ad. falcons fly over. Then we went to a lunch observation spot, could see one falcon (ad.) cliff soaring back & forth over gully. After lunch we moved up road to blind (obs site) directly across gully from eagles eyrie. Could see great flying min. of ad & J. Then, in blind, both adults and one eyre as, small "cave" formed by overhanging roots at top of gully - facing SE. Beautiful views of both adults - both have good markings & hints of "hoods". The falcon is strongly marked with wide flank marks and thick breast/ belly spots. She looks heavily spotted on breast. Bel has pencil markings too. Trend is very fine on breast, very thin markings, guts clean. I also just got a pair of GWS's IV,
