With a few counters still out, we have a prelim count of 42 species today, which I think is excellent. A few comments: Townsend's solitaire reported earlier at Eagle Lake, south of Orrock. Black-billed magpie at refuge headquarters (hasn't been seen this afternoon, as far as I know) Hertzels were in the Ann Lake Campground area early a.m. looking for owls. White-winged crossbills on the back side of Blue Hill Trail in the spruces/conifers. LOTS of blue jays, Canada geese and trumpeter swans. Red-breasted nuthatches in a couple of spots. 3 eastern bluebirds NW of Buck Lake (which is also NW of Blue Hill Trail complex) 3 song sparrows Brown creeper around the refuge HQ. Thank you to everyone who showed up to help with the CBC!!! Betsy Beneke Sherburne NWR
