Mallard - one pair
Beach adjacent outlet to Silver Salmon Lake
Rock Sandpipers - Bob collected 3 along a rocky stretch of beach (low tide).
Red-throated Loons - 2 were 20 ft from shore.
Bald Eagle - one adult sitting on a rock surrounded by water, perhaps one of the parents from the nest located a short ways further se. along the shore. Two Immature birds flew over the creek mouth together.
Pintail - 3 or
Mallard
Terns - sp - 4 flying just offshore & calling.
Sea Otter - dead skeletonized one on beach. We saved skull. Skate (raddish) were common in one small core.
Harbor Seal - one dead & partially decomposed seal on beach. Saved skull. (#377).
Winter Wren - Dr. Johnston found a singing adult & nearby, 2 fledglings that could fly 10-15 ft at a stretch.
P. tarmigan nest reported by D. Nordmeyer could not be located. Spoke to Dave later and it is clear that the one hole we saw was not the nest location he spoke of. The correct spot does have nest material in it,
