As others have noted it was busy out there today! Here’s most of what I could identify passing during 7 hours spent along Ortega Ridge Road behind Summerland:
372 western kingbird 32 swainson’s hawks 144 vaux’s swift 103 loon 800+ swallows (identifiable swallows were nearly all cliff but with scattered barn and a northern rw) 22 turkey vulture 1 osprey 1 dc cormorant + small numbers of other birds
From Ortega I could see many additional birds passing lower than me out along the coast (more kingbirds I suspect + swallows). Several passing hawks went unidentified. I mostly hung around where Ortega intersects with Greenwell Av but moved north along Ortega and east down Greenwell trying different vantage points.
