Near the rivers, the eaglets have hatched, Ospreys are nesting, many hundred gulls rest on sandbars. Hundreds of Canada Geese, Trumpeter Swans and assorted ducks have migrated in and staked claim to nesting sites, or moved on in search of better ones. Mountain Bluebirds, American Robins and Varied Thrush are here, Townsend's Solitaires are more plentiful this year than I can ever remember. Dozens of Long-billed Curlew can be seen foraging in the fields again.
