Holly Hoffman, Miriam Swartz and Robert Koch walked the woodland trails. They also walked part of the perimeter trail to the Community Building but that area was covered by Suzan Preiksat and Joyce Watson. Laurie Larson checked Monarch Lake.

Robert took photos of Snow Geese, American Coots and Common Mergansers earlier this week on the lake, and the Northern Flicker was also taken then on the Soggy Bottom trail.  On the day of the census he photographed  Ring-billed Gulls and a White-breasted Nuthatch.

The list combines all three parties. No record is available for the weather that day.

Participants: Holly Hoffman, Robert Koch, Laurie Larson, Suzan Preiksat, Miriam Swartz, Joyce Watson
