One lingering CASPIAN TERN plus FOS BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER 
and PURPLE MARTIN were highlights.  Combined with Friday's 
totals, that's 60 species for this nice local spot.

Location:    Oxbow Lake
Observation date:    4/12/09
Notes:    Back to the lake, where Marcy showed us a nice 
vantage point (but still no American Bittern).  After she 
left, another birder joined us for a while.  Not as much 
diversity as last visit (Friday), but plenty of new birds 
that weren't seen then.  Sunny, cool, breeze, sometimes cold 
& windy.  May have heard Eastern Phoebe.
