We spent the morning on foot with birds. At First Street we birded both
sides of the river. We found the BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE 3 times in about
a 30 minute period as it moved about with a flock of Bushtits and
Mountain Chickadees on the east side of the river, close to the start of
the trail. It was vocalizing especially when down next to the river in a
small alder. Two BALD EAGLES flew overhead while we were there, the only
raptors of the morning. Shevlin was quiet but we explored the tiny burn
across the creek from Aspen Hall and found 2 Hairy's and a Downy working
the burned trees. This is the spot Ned Austin mentioned a few months
ago, recently burned.
