4. Eight House Wrens
5. One (well seen) Barred Owl, only the second we've had here in over 8 years.
6. Type 3 Red Crossbills, with one well-seen juvenile bird
7. Four Bald Eagles, including two full-adult birds (seen by several of us as we exited the walk)
Mammals today include black-tailed deer, rabbit, Douglas squirrel, and rat (!).
