Forgot to post last night. Some new arrivals yesterday on Columbia NWR: a WILSON'S PHALAROPE at Migraine Lake and a SOLITARY SANDPIPER and a night-heron at a wetland north of Quail Lake. Same area a Vesper and probable Grasshopper Sparrow. Also had a BONAPARTE'S GULL at the potato ponds with abundant stilts, avocets, Dunlin, pelicans, egrets and about 600 shovelers. A PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER was in town. One Cassin's Finch and Lincoln's Sparrow left at my feeders which I have not yet seen this morning in addition to the gobs of White-crowned Sparrows, House Finches, American Goldfinches and Red-winged Blackbirds. But 2 Pine Siskins and an Orange-crowned Warbler have checked in so I better go check the park.
