<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">It was cool and dry with little to no wind when thirteen birders began the walk this morning. We heard and saw Red Crossbills while still in the parking lot, as well as a perched young Red-tailed Hawk. A cooperative Townsend's Warbler showed himself as soon as we got moving. A first for this walk was a female Eurasian Wigeon tagging along with American Wigeon. It seemed as if Varied Thrush were everywhere we went, and Junco's were in larger flocks than usual. Our most noticeable misses; no species of Wren, no Pied-billed Grebe, no gulls, no California Scrub-jay. The complete checklist follows.</span>
