Along the shore of Ragged Islets was a huge
flock of surf scoters, my estimate by
counting a sample of 200 was 700 birds
of which some 5% were [female symbol].
The caretaker of Stag Bay has a number
of semi tame deer - one had 3 warts on
its head - a large one above the right eye,
almost closing it.
Apparently some 40 families lived there
in the 1890's.
Very few alcids, pigeon guillemots only.

July 26, 1965. Degnan's Cove, S. [south] end Gabriola Island.
Sailed across Georgia Strait in 4 hours
