of Santa Catalina & San Clemente to east &
south, and way in distance to the west,
the long form of San Nicolas Island. Back at camp
saw a very yellow-green flycatcher, at first thought
it was a yellow wagtail from the way it
flew. It seemed to have an exceptionally long tail,
and was larger than an average Empidonax.
Lots of Meadowlarks & Horned Larks! Saw fledged
young horned larks. At night we managed to
to catch a Xantus Murrelet by hand. Their
voices clearly heard throughout early evening &
morning. Barn Owls inspected my camp.

Went to west slopes for gull trapping. Scoured
about 1000 nests, found only 4 with eggs!
(3 two-egg nests, 1 one-egg). Trapped gulls
off the 2 egg nests -- only four birds.
DAB 442-445. Lots of work for so few birds.

We were picked up by the Park Service boat
at about 13:00. Stopped off at Anacapa I. on
way. Arrived Ventura 16:00.
