2. Both Hutton's and Cassin's Vireos

3. Four woodpeckers: Northern Flicker, Downy and Hairy, and Red-breasted Sapsucker

4. Eight House Wrens

5. One (well seen) Barred Owl, only the second we've had here in over 8 years.

6. Type 3 Red Crossbills, with one well-seen juvenile bird

7. Four Bald Eagles, including two full-adult birds (seen by several of us as we exited the walk)



Mammals today include black-tailed deer, rabbit, Douglas squirrel, and rat (!).
