Field Notes D. A. Bell June 14, 1990 collect all three birds on 5 shots, missed twice at close range. We then headed for the colony on Cox Island, and I shot a fourth bird that had come off the W rocks to investigate the other 3 birds in the Zodiac. (One of the original 3 birds, which I had missed, went right over to a rock, and sat there. It didn't look wounded, but it stayed put while we waited below it. Finally we scared it up, then I got it on a long shot -> beautiful). In all, D1B 715-718. All these 4 gulls originated from the Cox Island colony. After getting the birds, we motored around Cox Island into Cloak Bay, where we tossed one of the previous day's gulls into the water near the Window Pinnacle to see if a bald eagle would go for it. One eagle did come over to check it out, as did another gull. Somehow the eagle then turned on the gull, and made a series serious attempt to get. The gull realized this and began flying in earnest to vacate the side of Cloak Bay. The eagle came quite close in a couple dives, but the gull got away. We enjoyed a rough ride and pouring rain back to the cabin at Fairy Bay; by the time we got the boat up on the beach and our equipment stored, it was 17:00. I did the gulls, including a skin, under a plastic tarp of our cabin. Got to bed about 23:00. 4 birds/6 shots
