Field Notes D.A. Bell June 15, 1990 Up at 06:30 Thank goodness, no real rain, partly cloudy skies. We packed everything up, taking several hours. Light rain came and went. The Ravens had picked my gull carcases clean. I had left them on the beach. Not even lungs or kidneys were left in the skeletons. We had enough gear for two trips in the Zodiac boat to Langara Lodge. Wayne took the first load, then came back to pick me and other gear up. Good W wind + dynamic swell (>3 meters), but still not too bad. Both pairs of GWC's at Dogo Head (Fang Bay) and Aphygenia Point were on territory. Looks like Aphygenia Point birds are incubating. We docked at the lodge (having seen several Marbled Murrelets + 8 Tufted Puffins on way past Cox Island (yes-yesterday, I counted 46 Pelagic Cormorants on Cox). Decided, because of wind, to just wait out our plane at the lodge. Took a beautiful shower. Got a tour of the lodge, ate good sandwiches & had coffee. Ah - warmth! Our plane, an old Beaver, didn't leave until 17:15. Old pilot crusty fellow. Because of wind & waves we had to take all the way past the North Island Camp & then skirt between Langara & Lucy Is. Plane was surprisingly stable in waves. We took off, got tremendous views of N Graham Island thru clouds, rain. Pillar Rock and
