a few species of note:

Alder Flycatcher - 2
Red-br. Nuthatch - 7 (an off year, following poor cone crop last year)
Brown Creeper - 3
Hermit Thrush - 4, singing

Yellow-rumped Warbler - 1, singing (where reported on week-end by Rob
Biller et al.)

note: a good fir cone crop is developing this year, so seed-eaters
should increase.
