At a small wet spot beside hwy 91:
Semipalmated Plover - 1 - - not mentioned in Coffey & Shumate's 1999 book,
                 so this is apparently a first valley record.
Also there:  Solitary (2) & Least (5) sandpipers.

Highlights elsewhere:
Ruffed Grouse - 1  - - drumming
Com. Raven - 2
10 species of warblers, including Swainson's (2), Blackburnian (4), 
                  Black-thr. Blue (8), & Canada (3).
