Julie and I met Bob and Deb Zaremba at Oxbow Meadows around 10:00 and birded
til about 2:00.  Though we didn't start at prime time, we managed decent 67
spp.  Not too many of the rarer sparrows and ducks weren't abounding yet, but
we had some nice birds:

Anhinga - 2
Bald Eagle - 2 adults (quite a show at the dredge pond!)
Red-shouldered Hawk - 3
Red-tailed Hawk - 6
Cooper's Hawk - 1
Sharp-shinned Hawk - 2
American Kestrel - 2
Sandhill Crane - 3 flyover (3rd OM record)
Least Sandpiper - 1
Wilson's Snipe - 2
Common Ground-Dove - 1
American Pipit - 18 fots
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher - 4
House Wren - many, but no other migrant wrens!
White-eyed vireo - 1
Blue-headed Vireo - 5
Orange-crowned Warbler - 5
Black-&-white Warbler - 1
Vesper Sparrow - only 1!
Fox Sparrow - 1 fots
