Last Saturday I saw at least 30 Fox Sparrows and the dark-morph Red-tailed 
Hawk in Columbia Bottom CA and a good number of Savannah Sparrows 
both in that place and RMBS. I observed 15 species of ducks, three species 
of geese (Canada, Greater White-fronted, and Snow), Trumpeter swans and 
one Tundra Swan in RMBS. I checked out the Church-Seeberger-Dwyer Rds 
area and did not see any Great-tailed Grackles or Brewer's Blackbirds. But I 
did see some Rusty Blackbirds and Common Grackles there.
