Fifty-one species were recorded. Highlights were: Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (2); Swainson's Thrush; Junco; Eastern Phoebe (2); and the thrill of watching an Osprey catch a fairly large fish, only to have to surrender it due to being under attack by three Bald Eagles. The Senior Eagle made the Osprey drop the fish, but all of the birds were so low that the fish made it to the safety of the water before any of the eagles could intercept it. Both Kinglet species were heard, and there were several White-throated Sparrows around.
