64 263. Spotted Sandpiper. A pair of Sandpiper evidently had a nest along the creek in the gravel patcher as a pair chased along after me for at least half a mile and were very solicitous. 155 Harlequin Duck. A flock of 7 supposedly young birds were often seen but those of the flock that we secured were adult females. 352a Northern Bald Eagle - Common. One shot measured 6ft 9in. 390 Belted Kingfisher One was seen on July 23. 486a Northern Raven A pair were seen July 21. 489. Northwest Crow. Common. 567a Oregon Junco. One was seen July 24 at an altitude of 1500 ft. 585a Townsend Sparrow. A deserted nest containing 4 fresh(!) eggs was found which I took to be of this species.
