- and anchored off the S.E. [southeast] side.
We then went ashore in a small
boat, pulling it up on the rocks.
The island is about 8 or 10 acres
in extent and about 60 feet in
elevation in the middle. The
shore very rugged but on the
inner slopes there are dense
growths of grasses, sedges + other
weeds. Among these the puffins
+ other birds burrow. Our Puffin
was captured by hand in one of
these places. We found about
15 pairs of Oyster Catchers preparing
to nest. A few G.w. [Glaucous-winged] gulls were
making their nests but no eggs
yet. Pigeon Guillemots, Bairds +
Brandts cormorants were very
common + could be seen sitting
on all the rocks or swimming
in the water. Song sparrows +
sooty Fox Sparrow were nesting
in a few clumps of salal + numerous
Winter wren fledgelings were seen
a wandering Tattler was secured +
two fox sparrows.
On the way home we saw
Harlequin ducks, Old Squaws, Pacific
Loon (one taken) and several
rhinocerous [rhinoceros] auklets.
The scenery was wonderful.
