There was also a good number of birds at the refuge, many of which were moving south. A total of 489 Blue Jays were seen flying over the gap. Several late-fall/winter birds have arrived at the center including an American Black Duck, several White-throated Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos, and a Yellow-rumped Warbler.
