A black and white booby made a few passes by the fishermen and kayakers off
seawatch at 7:35 today. It was adult plumaged and, once closer, showed a
noticeably orangey base to the bill, which fits for a Nazca Booby. This was
an older bird than the Masked booby seen here on June 18.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Murrelet at Oceanside Harbor |
I noticed a murrelet swimming in the boat channel leading to Oceanside harbor thismorning. I am reporting it since murrelets are not typically inshore species. The bird was generally far to the north of the accessible jetty, but at one point it swam parallel to and just off the jetty from the "T" east nearly to the actual harbor. Field marks (lack of black wedge on the breast, white chin, white mark in front of the eye) indicate a Scripp'sMurrelet. The bird never allowed a view of its wing linings. I will provide photos with an ebird report later today. Hopefully, some of our pelagic bird experts will weigh in onthe i.d. if they don't actually find the bird.

I photographed a Wood Stork about a half-hour ago in private ponds within

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] La Jolla Masked Booby and Pigeon Guillemot |
Wednesday morning the 18th, Paul Mulholland and I did seawatching at La Jolla, my arriving first at civil Twilight no later than 5:30 a.m. and in the first half hour saw 1200 Black vented shearwaters, plus a few Sooties. But the big excitement happened first between 7:15 and 7:20 when we had a breeding plumaged Pigeon Guillemot flying north, the first time there may well have ever been a guillemot, or murre for that matter, seen flying North, as typically all these rare alcids seen here are going south. And then between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m. a sub-adult black and white booby appeared and proceeded to spend 15 minutes circling around the fishing boats, diving into the water and getting fish. Given that the bird appears to be at least 2 years old and showed an entirely greeny yellow bill, we believe that it was a Masked Booby. PM got some very distant shots that clearly show a sub-adult black and white booby but may or may not be able to see bill color. It disappeared a few minutes after 8:00 a.m. and we don't know where it went. The other bird worth mentioning is that numbers of of breeding plumage adult Heermann's Gulls are now returning, Right on time.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Spring and fall migrations overlap today |
The male Scarlet Tanager yesterday at Point Loma and the Red-eyed Vireo at Carlsbad the past 2 days-- both late-spring vagrants--were both were missed this morning so may well be gone. Still this morning, the 18th, a late-lingering spring migrant Western Wood- Pewee at Fort Rosecrans Cemetery. But simultaneous with all this today are the first several alternate- plumaged "fall" arrival Willets and an increase in the number of Long billed Curlews from what over-summered, also right on time for returning southbound migrants.
The very late lingering Tricolored Heron continues today at the San Diego River mouth, and as of late when near low tide it seems to prefer being right up next to the Sunset Cliffs Boulevard bridge.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Scarlet Tanager update |
The male Scarlet tanager just to the right of the main entrance to Point Loma Nazarene University was seen and photographed off and on between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m., during which time it did a bit of singing and calling. It's M.O. during that period Was burying itself in the dense ficus tree over the dirt path as you walk North from the main entrance kiosk to the campus, so something like the 5th or 6th tree down the path, but then it would come feed on bees in the tree right before that which sort of looks like a Catalina Cherry, or go to the end of the parking lot down the path to a couple pines and an oak and then come back. It spent quite a bit of time in those pines and oaks at the North end of the parking lot during the last period. We watched it just before noon. Best views are actually from the parking lot rather than from the path.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] PLNU Scarlet Tanager |
Just after 8:00 a.m. on Monday, Tom Simpson and Steve Lister found a male Scarlet Tanager just inside and to the right of the main entrance for Point Loma Nazarene University. At about 10:00 a.m. I was able to refind the bird with them in the same area. So, go to the right at the main campus entrance station and check that whole area there in the pines and ficus and sycamores. When they had the bird just after 8:00, they said it was singing a little bit, but we've heard it say nothing. It's actually fairly sneaky, so thank goodness it's brilliant red and black, But it can still hide fairly easily.
Still one pewee in the Catalina Cherry. A 1-year-old common Tern down at Emory Cove on South San Diego Bay.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Jacumba Harris's Hawk nestling (RIP) |
A visit to Jacumba on 11 June produced 7 adult Harris's Hawks, tying the recent high count. We also found a dead nestling lying on the ground under this year's known nest tree. It had been dead for a few days. Don't know if there is still another, extant, live youngster or not, as it is impossible to see up into the nest. This is approximately the fifth year with nesting Harris's Hawks at Jacumba since 2011. The only late landbird migrant we had was a single Western Tanager. Unseasonal--for the site--were a Black-crowned Night Heron and Cliff Swallow, given that neither species nests in that area.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] 2025 late landbird migration, early June summary |
The first 10 days of June continued the notable late migration of landbird migrants during Spring 2025. Here's a summary from this latest period, as best I can compile currently.
Olive-sided Flycatcher: one of the best coastal spring migration seasons ever included multiple late birds including five since 5 Jun, with the latest through 9 Jun at Wing Street Canyon
Western Wood-Pewee: this species often occurs in numbers well into the second week of June, and this year was no exception, with, for example, a high total of 28 birds on 10 Jun at Point Loma & Coronado
Willow Flycatcher: this species also normally occurs in numbers well into the second week of June, and this year there were more than the average number seen along the coast (i.e., a few seen daily) where typically quite uncommon
Western Flycatcher: this species also occurs regularly as a migrant into the second week of June, and small numbers continue daily at non-breeding sites
Cassin's Vireo: one photographed in Carlsbad on 7 Jun is probably the all-time late date for a spring migrant
Warbling Vireo: regular into early June, one at Point Loma on 10 Jun was somewhat late
Purple Martin: single females (same bird?) at Cabrillo Nat'l. Monument 4 Jun and at Fort Rosecrans Nat'l. Cemetery 7 Jun are the second/third latest spring record(s) of migrants on record
Cedar Waxwing: singles on 9 Jun at Bay Park and at Point Loma were late
Swainson's Thrush: this species occurs regularly through early, June, and this year seemed to be just average
White-throated Sparrow: a real surprise was one at Rancho Penasquitos on 7 Jun, the second-ever June record
Nashville Warbler: one lingering on Point Loma through 1 Jun was the second-latest ever in spring
MacGillivray's Warbler: one at sea near the 30-Mile Bank on 7 Jun was the third-latest ever
Yellow-rumped (Audubon's) Warbler: one in eastern Carlsbad on 3 Jun was late
Black-throated Gray Warbler: six single very late birds during early June, through 9 Jun, established multiple new latest spring migrant dates ever
Townsend's Warbler: typically the last several migrants are seen into the first few days of June, but many more than normal were present this year, with, for example, 14+ in coastal San Diego Co. on 7 Jun, and still one on 10 Jun at La Jolla Farms tying the latest date
Hermit Warbler: this species was perhaps the poster child for the late migration this year, with small numbers lingering and present daily (including many adult males) well into early June (no precedent for this), and the latest singles on 8 Jun at Point Loma and at Mount Hope Cemetery
Wilson's Warbler: slightly above average numbers through early June
Western Tanager: ditto
Black-headed Grosbeak: nothing exceptional, with a migrant at Fort Rosecrans Nat'l. Cemetery on 8 Jun just slightly late
Lazuli Bunting: one very late female at sea at "The Corner" (32 miles offshore) on 7 Jun

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Apparent tool use by Paso Picacho Pygmy Nuthatch |
On Sunday (08 June), Michelle and I birded the Paso Picacho campground (see
https://ebird.org/checklist/S248320053).
It was only upon review of the photos that we found that we had observed
and documented what appears to be the use of tool by at least one
individual Pygmy Nuthatch (PYNU) while it was foraging for insects to take
back to a confirmed nesting cavity nearby.
Results of a quick literature search indicate that the use of objects in
this manner has been documented before in Brown-headed and White-breasted
Nuthatch species (with that behavior apparently more common in the
former). However, we were able to find only a single reference (undated
and via a personal communication) to an observation of comparable Pygmy
Nuthatch behavior (in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeast Arizona).
The checklist referenced above includes seven PYNU images, with several
showing the apparent tool very well and from different angles. (additional
photos---but of lower quality---exist).
Bird early and bird often,
Carl Ebeling and Michelle Merrigan

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] San Diego pelagic trip Saturday: 7+ Cook's Petrels, Red-billed Tropicbird, Cocos Booby, Craveri's Murrelets |
The San Diego pelagic trip on Saturday, June 7, aboard "Legacy" and sponsored by Buena Vista Audubon Society was quite successful. Not many birds in some areas, but very large numbers of feeding shearwaters along the junction between the outer San Diego Trough and the 30-Mile Bank, with the Trough and entire 30-Mile Bank being good for some additional sought-after species. Many birds were gorging on anchovies forced to the surface by bonito. The clear highlights included excellent views of between 7-9 Cook's Petrels in that area (30-Mile Bank, plus one at The Corner), an adult Red-billed Tropicbird in the mid-San Diego Trough that circled right over the boat for almost 20 minutes, and an adult male Cocos Booby also in the Trough. The total of four Craveri's Murrelets were seen only flying away. Also surprising were the well offshore, very late MacGillivray's Warbler and late Lazuli Bunting, as well as two Willow Flycatchers. Photos will be posted with the many shared eBird checklists available later today or tomorrow.
Totals for the day once were over a mile offshore were:
Pomarine Jaeger 1
Parasitic Jaeger 1 (adult; rare in June)
Scripps's Murrelet 1
Craveri's Murrelet 4 (30-Mile Bank area)
Cassin's Auklet 11
Sabine's Gull 3 (incl. one full adult; not sure if wandering non-breeders or very late migrants)
Western Gull 100
Least Tern 3
Common Tern 14 (a good total)
Elegant Tern 250
Red-billed Tropicbird 1 (32.676, -117.586; 19-1/2 mi. W of Point Loma)
Pacific Loon 1
Ashy Storm-Petrel 1
Black Storm-Petrel 90
Cook's Petrel 7-9 (at least 7, perhaps 9 if no duplication; 24-32 miles offshore)
Sooty Shearwater 3500
Pink-footed Shearwater 2000
Black-vented Shearwater 18
Cocos Booby 1 (adult male with pale head)
Brandt's Cormorant 2
Brown Pelican 35
Willow Flycatcher 2
MacGillivray's Warbler 1 (30-Mile Bank)
Lazuli Bunting 1 (The Corner)
Also, Mission Bay jetties: 2 Black Otystercatchers, 1 Black X American Oystercatcher
And: Risso's Dolphins, Blue Whale (spout only), Mako Shark, Mola Mola
For a schedule of upcoming trips in July, August (3), September (3), and October, see sandiegopelagics.com

Greetings, sorry for the delay technical issues got in the way.
So here are the Hot spots for the week. 6 Hot spots can be finished this week. They are in red with a one after the name, Our community effort to complete bar charts are staring to pay off. I will be out of the country for the next three weeks but should be able to continue to send out weekly emails. We will see, they say the Amazon has wifi. I’m really excited by the continued support from all of you. This has turned into an amazing effort. We are making some real progress.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Very possible Black Vulture near the wild animal park |
Just about 20 minutes ago, about 9:40 or so, I had a bird circling right
above the Vons shopping center, it was a definite Vulture, and just before
I could park and jump out, I saw that it had no see through feathers and
the back part of the wing and very definite wing patches near the tips, but
large wing patches. I've seen many black vultures in Az and really believe
that is what this was. I don't know the north county birders but perhaps
we can all be watching for it again. As I was trying to jump out of my
car, it went straight towards the back part, (away from San Pasqual Rd.),
of the wild animal park. Perhaps it will show up there.

I just had a flock of around 30 Lawrence’s Goldfinchs’ in a field adjacent to the San Luis Rey River Trail. Just across from Whelan Lake Bird Sanctuary. Returning home I found one on my fountain with an American Goldfinch.
Tomorrow is the Buena Vista Bird Walk at Whelan Lake 8 am. Maybe they will show up there.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] June 5th western migrant numbers, plus Black&white Warbler and American Redstart |
An adult male American Redstart was present this morning, June 5, in the Catalina Cherry area of Point Loma Nazarene University. Yesterday, there was a male Black-and-white Warbler there, and what was presumably the same bird was still present today but had moved a bit to the south (fide K. McMillan).
There continue to be some strange, high numbers of a number of western landbird migrants still present late in the season. Some species still present well into the first week of June are not unusual, but the numbers of some of these, as well as a few additional species that should be through by now are what's surprising. Here are the totals that just I saw this morning in the Point Loma and Coronado areas:
Western Wood-Pewee 23 (high for the date)
Willow Flycatcher 6 (high for the coast)
Western Flycatcher 7
Warbling Vireo 2
Yellow Warbler 2
Townsend's Warbler 8 (high this late)
Hermit Warbler 3 (very unusual in June, the hit parade of late Hermits continues)
Wilson's Warbler 5
Western Tanager 1

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] late western landbird migration, plus some vagrants |
The numbers of western landbird migrants were mediocre during much of the latter half of May, following a very good first half of May. But numbers seem up again the past week. For example, today, June 4th, I had a very good total of 21 Western Wood-Pewees in the Point Loma & Coronado areas, along with still 3 scattered late Hermit Warblers on Point Loma, as well as more expected 2 Willow Flycatchers, 1 Townsend's Warbler, 1 migrant Black-headed Grosbeak, and several each Wilson's Warblers and Western Tanagers. The excellent overall spring migration for Olive-sided Flycatchers continued up through yesterday. (Very late Nashville Warbler made it to June 1 and Black-thr. Gray Warbler to June 2, both on Point Loma.)
Vagrants from the east have also improved the past week, with Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Ovenbird, Black-and-white Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Summer Tanager, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] upcoming Saturday June 7th pelagic trip |
There is still plenty of space available on this coming Saturday's, June 7th, pelagic trip aboard "Legacy" out of Seaforth Sportfishing at Mission Bay. The current marine forecast is nice and rather benign. Early June is a good time of year for many of our standard pelagic species, and it is also good for Scripps's Murrelet and Ashy Storm-Petrel. There is a good chance that Craveri's Murrelets will have arrived. Similar early-June trips the past few years have also recorded such rarer species as Cook's Petrel, Laysan & Black-footed Albatrosses, Manx Shearwater, South Polar Skua, and Leach's Storm-Petrel.
Given that it is unlikely the trip will sell out, those of you with sensitive stomachs and inner ears can wait until the most up-to-date marine forecasts are out on Thursday or Friday and still make your reservation. Right now, seas are forecast to be about 2 feet. One could even come down to the dock on Saturday morning and sign up.
For further information, see: sandiegopelagics.com. For reservations, go to the "Legacy" whalewatch website at: sdwhale.com.
