- 5 Short-eared Owls, visible in all directions from the parking lot at one time or another.
- 2 Bald Eagles, both adults- apparently one each from the Beaver Swamp and East Creek nesting pairs, as the two headed in those respective directions.
- 10+ Marsh Wrens and 2 Seaside Sparrows, a rather nice count for late-January, but not totally unexpected considering the lack of any extended cold snaps so far.
- 8+ calling Clapper Rails, another good tally at the end of January for a species that is characteristic of summer.
- 2 duetting Great Horned Owls- this is our earliest breeding species, and the female should be on eggs pretty soon.
