Very many visitors came to see if the DICKCISSEL would be around for a third day--but, up to 2PM this wonderful immature male bird had "flown the coop". Among 103 raptors seen over 5 hours on a north-northwest windy day were 1 immature GOLDEN EAGLE, a low-flying N.Goshawk, a very late BROAD-WINGED, 2 RED-SHOULDEREDs, 60 Turkey Vultures, 9 Red-taileds, 8 Sharpies, 11 Kestrels and 2 Merlins. A female Towhee showed herself many times on the path below us, with 4 species of Sparrows. At 1 PM 2 PINE SISKINS came in to sit in the alder tree right at the platform. 3 SNOW GEESE flew in from the lake and back , unaccompanied by Canadas. 10 BONAPARTE'S GULLS were noted.
