A total of 65 species were found. Highlight: Yellow-throated Warbler low enough and cooperative enough to even give scope views - and singing jubilantly throughout the viewing. Bonaparte's Gulls (5) and Surf Scoters (many) - both new species for this site. A pair of Brown Thrashers; many Meadowlarks; several Barn Swallows and Tree Swallows; Brown-headed Nuthatches; Three Horned Grebes in breeding plumage; one fly-over Great Egret; and, for Atlasing purposes, a Downy Woodpecker carrying nesting materials into a hole on a dead snag. During pre-walk checking on Saturday, the Jean Shehan grounds had also shown a Hermit Thrush, a Red-breasted Nuthatch and a Common Yellowthroat, but these were not relocated today.
