Since this species has become so hard to come by, I thought it was important to let people know that I saw two late first summer Common Terns at Ocean Park with Elegant and Royal Terns on the west

Hi all, It seems like the jaegers have finally arrived nearshore. I've seen ten in the last week of seawatching: 2 Parasitic at Haskell's Beach on Thursday, 1 Parasitic and two jaeger sp. at Coal Oil

Dave Compton, Jim Hodgson, and I rented a boat for 5hr, 20min, which cost us $115. A cheap thrill, well worth it. The water level is 38 feet below full, the capacity is 52% of full. Our best

I walked Sands Beach this morning. The tide was just starting to come in after a very early low tide, so there was plenty of beach and lots of activity from smaller shorebirds: Black-bellied Plovers,

Just saw my 1st Wilson’s warbler of the fall at our backyard water feature

I had a good time birding at Bella Vista Park in Goleta this morning. I did not see the Willow Flycatcher(s) that have been seen there recently, but I did see a nice mix of early migrants, of which

Thanks Wes for pushing this out, a bit more info, the bird was inside the park and favoring the southern Euc on the west bank of the creek. A link to a look at bird here: Eastern Kingbird | Refugio

Linda and David Blue refound one of the Brewer's Sparrows at Elings Park in approximately the same area that two were seen yesterday. As they did yesterday, the bird seems to feed almost exclusively

SB Birders Peter Shneekerhoff is reporting a Easter Kingbird at Refugio State Beach in the lower part of the creek. Good birding. Wes Fritz 805 895 0685 wes-fritz@... Solvang CA

Devereux As reported by Dave Compton on Friday 9/03, my husband Jay Scheidemen and I spotted a juvenile Yellow-Crowned Heron today at around 2pm on the bank opposite the road, just east of Nowhere

After being skunked at the park last weekend, there were finally quite a few birds to look through: 10 + Wilson's Warblers, 5 Yellow Warblers, 4 Western Tanagers, and a small flock of Cedar Waxwings.

The Little Blue Heron, which seems to not have been seen for about three weeks, was sitting on the bridge to nowhere at Devereux today at 10am. ________________ Linus Blomqvist linusblomqvist.com

Hi All: I found that Jim Hodgson’s post from yesterday made me want to get out and brave the odors at the Bird Refuge this morning! I’ve never seen the shoreline so receded as it was today,

I birded the Santa Ynez River Estuary from 3 places this morning. A very early returning Audubon’s Warbler was in the Myoporum near the RR trestle (photos in checklist). 2 male Redhead, adult

Hi Steve, Yes, definitely a Solitary Sandpiper, but almost certainly a different bird than the one present earlier. Lake Los Carneros has proven a good place for these when conditions are right. We
