Hooded Merganser - 10
Barrow's Goldeneye - 40
American Dipper - 1

Today Sidra Blake and I birded the Carty Unit and observed the following birds of note:

Bufflehead - 6
Ring-necked Duck - 2
Bald Eagle - 1
SAY'S PHOEBE - 1 at the headquarters
Tree Swallow - 10
Varied Thrush - 2

Also we have regularly had Evening Grosbeaks at our feeders and a N. Saw-whet Owl singing below our house above the S. River Unit of the refuge.
