Fortunately our group of 12 met winds that weren't as bad as we feared, especially early in the walk. We had a nice assortment of birds, mainly at one hot spot early on, in the mansion area--and some raptors throughout the walk. Some of the birds:

Black-Throated Green Warbler (1)
Palm Warbler (1-2)
Yellow-Rumped Warbler (1)
Ruby-Crowned Kinglet (2-3)
Junco (1)
Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker (2-3)
Phoebe (several)
Flicker (couple)
Hairy (1)
HERMIT  Thrush (1)

MERLIN (1)
Sharp-Shinned Hawk (1-2)
Cooper's Hawk (2)
Northern Harrier (1) 
Red-Tailed (1)
Red-Shouldered (1 heard)
Black Vulture (1)

A very pleasant group and lots of helpful eyes.
