I spent about three hours in Columbia Bottom Ca (from (9:40am until 12:40 pm) today. The weather wasn't very pleasant. It was chilly and wet. I didn't see any shorebirds except Killdeer there but I did not scan carefully for shorebirds. However I managed to see some good birds, especially Bobolimks in the same area where they had been seen past few days. Saw my FOY Dickcissels. Got both species of orioles, some meadowlarks (apparently all Eastern), Cliff, Tree, and Barn Swallows, one Eastern Wood Peewee, and five species of warblers ( Chestnut-sided, Tennessee, American Redstart ( both male and female), Blackpoll ( both male and female), and Prothonotary. Song Sparrow was the only sparrow I saw, not counting a House Sparrow I saw at the feeder near the HQ building. Other birds I saw were Great Egrets, Little Blue Heron, Northern Shovelers, Mallard, Blue-winged Teals, American Coots, one Pied-billed Grebe, and Canada Geese.
