Field Notes Doug Bell May 22, 1989 Left Berkeley at 15:00 hrs, drove Highway 5 north, arrived Portland, OR at [illegible]:30 hrs. Intermittent, heavy rain from Weed, CA northwest, May 23, 1989 Left Portland 10:00 hrs, arrived Chinook, WA about 12:00. Glenn Eger was in his office at the Port of Chinook. We shot the breeze, he and Mike said they got a new outboard for the skiff, and I'm welcome to use it. Wind was blowing too hard to come out at high tide (16:49). I got everything ready though, went to Victoria, talked to various gunsmiths, etc. The wind finally died down enough around 8 19:00 hrs. I loaded up the boat and came out at 20:00 hrs (left Chinook). Searched 2 flocks of Mallards at the pilings on East Sand Island, and a pair of Canadian Henkers. The gulls got very upset. It almost looks as if I am too early - many birds may not yet be on eggs. I discovered I forgot a bucket [illegible], so I may have to go back tomorrow morning. May 24, 1989 Got up at high tide (03:00 hrs). Broken clouds, 7/8 moon. Boat was OK. Decided to motor back to Chinook & pick up good bucket Trip OK, no major problems - went back to
