Re: Pics of today's Red-eyed Vireo
Hi Jim,
The vireo was found on private property in Goleta yesterday. I wish that it would've been possible to share this information with everyone. I apologize to anyone who feels excluded. But

Lompoc 'rarity roundup'
All,
On Sunday 8 of us got together various spots in the Lompoc/VAFB area to see how many rarities/interesting birds we might find. Unfortunately it turned out that it was more like Roundup had

Interesting dark buteo
This isn't about a bird I saw (though I wish I had). But several different people reported an unusual dark buteo yesterday, or perhaps more than one of them, and I'd be interested in hearing opinions

Re: Interesting dark buteo
Thanks to John Callender for his interesting comments.
My opinion is that both birds were correctly identified by the original observers (Zone-tailed on Bates Road, and Broad-winged on Farren Road,

Wilson's Snipe at LLC
I birded LLC Monday evening until dusk. A Wilson's Snipe flew in near the NE shore of the lake. It's a new bird for me.

Re: Summer Tanager at LLC
Almost certainly a different bird. The one we saw--though not all that well--was way more blotchy overall, not nearly as red. Cool!

I just received a couple of photos from one of the students in the birding class, and it does indeed look like it’s probably the same bird. The olive leaves lent a splotchy appearance to the bird,

An odd gift of migration
Birders,
Once again I've had unusual evidence of migration at my doorstep. This time, not my doorstep per se, but at my feet. Walking alongside the Butterfly Pavilion at the Museum of Natural History

Refugio
I made an AM visit to Refugio Canyon.

Birders no longer welcome at Laguna Rd. (Ventura Co.)
Thanks to Steve Tucker for pointing out the sensitive access situation at the Laguna Rd. tams. The local residents obviously do not like birders walking along Laguna Rd, so in my opinion this location
