I explored the bottom from north to south along the main trail between 1 and 
5pm.  Forty mile an hour gusts and a 1/4 inch of rain delivered in showers made 
for interesting weather.  It was a good day for raptors - 
2 peregrine falcons, one adult and one immature.  
2 american kestrels, one female one male.  
4 red-tails, 3 adult, one immature.  
1 possible rough-legged hawk.  
2 accipiters, one immature cooper's and one adult sharp-shinned.  
2 adult bald eagles.  
2 northern harriers, 1 immature, 1 adult male.   

12 dunlin in pintail pond, the first dunlin I've recorded for the season.
4 Wilson's snipe

Estimated 1000 northern pintail in the sky at one time, thanks to bald eagles 
passing over far east side of the bottom.
