This Red-throated Loon on the river. I went upon the North Bluff area, but saw only a couple of Longspurs here. Jacks Gills feeding in one of the coves there. At the far end of the Bluff this over 5 Caution (40,9). Beyond the North Bluff there is an extensive meadow barred barrens, and then a narrow zone of low willows and a sandy-sedge flat which that by the Oxbow dunes. There were Longspurs, 3-5 White-crowned Sparrows (Wht.), and 2 Redpolls in the willows. Saw an immature Golden Eagle soaring over the area. There were two young Dendrix at shallow pools near the willows here. North of this there are fairly extensive blow-out dunes with occasional pools and weedy areas on them. Around here I saw 2 Pectorals, 1 Dendrix, and 1 Baird's Sandpiper, and occasional one Longspurs were scattered over the dunes. In general.
