- March 29/41 [1941]
Met Archie Sherman + Don Quayle at
Stacey's wharf at 10 A.M. Large
numbers of Pilchards [sardines] in vicinity and
great agregation of Glaucous-winged
gulls. In trees on opposite shore
5 or 6 Bald headed eagles were sitting -
both juvenile + old birds.
On way down arm dredged near
1st Island - stinking mud and remains
of pilchards
Passed individual guillemots - some
in summer plumage - some still in
winter plumage or in process of changing.
Chased one of the latter in Tod inlet
but failed to hit it with 3-4 shots of
3" [inch] shells in .410.
Dredged off Brentwood, off Island in
ferry lane + off Bamberton. Shrimps;
munida [squat lobster], Sea squirts, eggs of
Scorpaenichthys(?) [aka Cabezon], very small, pinkish, eyed.
Saw many cormorants (Pelagic) in large
flocks on return trip. Also Guillemots
in both plumage phases.
Quite large masses of squid eggs were
seen at Stacey's - freshly laid - 3 capsules,
each containing about 50 eggs were collected.
