I hiked East Pinery Road today for the first time this fall. Nothing remarkable to report except that the Red-breasted Nuthatch invasion is very evident here. I counted 26 of them from the road head

A relatively cool morning gave way by mid morning to warm still air which seemed to subdue bird activity over much or the area we surveyed. Nonetheless we managed 47 species including both Canyon Wren

There was a White-crowned Sparrow (adult) in the Carp Salt Marsh Nature Park this morning. First one I’ve seen this Fall. Also, a Yellow-crowned Night Heron in Franklin Creek, near the footbridge.

Gaviota
SB Birders,
I birded around Gaviota State Beach for about one hour. It was 76 degrees and the wind was not too bad.
The best bird was a female type Lazuli Bunting in the mixed flock of sparrows.
