Highlights - Northern Gannets (12+ with some being pretty close to shore in Harris Creek); Bonaparte's Gulls - a kettle of 14 passed quickly over the property; Great-horned Owl - lit near enough for great scope views; Brown-headed Nuthatches, Brown Thrasher, Eastern Meadowlark, and Swamp Sparrow. A total of 46 species was recorded. Along the Bozman-Neavitt road north of the Jean Shehan Sanctuary, the field holding Hereford Cattle also held two Cattle Egrets.
