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

willows and a sandy-sedge flat which

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
