Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] American Golden-Plover continues |
Sorry for the late report. Thought someone else might have posted. The American-Golden-Plover has been on stilt island in Pond 23 for most of the morning. The Pacific was here for a little while not too long ago, but wasn't seen earlier in the morning. Might still be here. Heat shimmer not bad thru scopes at the moment, but causing some issues with photos.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] A great day to sign up for this year's San Diego Christmas Bird Count |
Dear friends,
If you haven't yet signed up for this year's San Diego Christmas Bird Count on 20 December 2025, today would be an auspicious day to do it! Our organizing committee is meeting to strategize this afternoon, and the more people signed up before, the better and more efficient the count's organization will be. So please sign up at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe84oAwxB239sixHhNJV46Y-FLoRc4CT3Bf8CPMHtQlM5CABA/viewform?pli=1.
Thanks very much,
Philip Unitt, Lesley Handa, Jen Hajj, Olivia Poulos, Sandy McCann, Shannon Mindeman, and Lindsay Willrick

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Palm Warbler and miscellanea |
Monday afternoon there is a Palm Warbler along the southern edge of the SDSU Mission Valley Park which is the park at Snapdragon Stadium, and this particular exact spot is due south of the stadium. The exact map location is:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/9EfraVF79rgsEMmt6Sent fr
Not that Palm Warblers are the rarest thing in the world, but it's actually been a below average season for them this year. I even commented earlier this year that this park has perfect Palm Warbler habitat covering vast expanses of it.
In other minor news the last couple days, Yesterday there was a new Tennessee Warbler in Liberty Station and a continuing Plumbeous Vireo in Serra Mesa, both in sensitive residential areas. And there was a flock of five Greater White-fronted Geese at the bottom end of Sweetwater Reservoir.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] 26 October: Northern Fulmer in close off Del Mar; another Lewis's Woodpecker along Mesa Grande Rd |
While scoping feeding flocks this morning off Penasquitos Lagoon mouth between 0745-8:45 am, a dark morph Northern Fulmar appeared with a feeding flock of birds, close enough to get pretty good looks. its stocky build and stiff-winged flight, and pale patches at the bases of the inner primaries caught my eye. There are still a lot of black vents streaming south, but not as many as there were last weekend.
Later in the day, a little after noon, there was a juvenile-type Lewis's Woodpecker (dark splotchy) on a pole at mile post 3.0 along Mesa Grande Rd in Santa Ysabel.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Laguna Mtns 10/26/25, Meadow & Big Laguna |
I took a casual walk around the meadow and Big Laguna with family+dog this
morning, and the birding was excellent. I wanted to report some highlights
in case others are interested in these birds, but also to note that this
wasn't really a focused birding trip. I suspect dedicated birding might
turn up even more good stuff this week.
Lewis's Woodpecker, 3, in the separate group of pines at the southeast
corner of Big Laguna (32.8788, -116.4600). One flew over and landed at the
top of the pines, and I saw two others were already perched there.
Williamson's Sapsucker, 1 female in pines around (32.8710, -116.4644),
while heading back through the pines toward the Mile 19 pullout and
trailhead. Actively foraging.
Townsend's Solitaire, 1 briefly flew over with bluebirds near the southeast
corner of Big Laguna (32.8769, -116.4627).
Cassin's Finch, 2 males, plus several other Cassin's/Purple Finches I
couldn't ID, near both Big Laguna and Water of the Woods.
'Gray-headed' Dark-eyed Junco, with Oregon juncos near the southwest corner
of Big Laguna (32.8784, -116.4632)

There is a dingy looking tan-striped White-throated Sparrow with a rather large concentration of White-crowned Sparrows (easily 100+) and Munias down the south horse trail coming off the Bird and Butterfly Garden, right around 32.552093, -117.089131 *.*
As is often the case with this trail, its rather gross and littered with garbage and I think I'm going to burn my shoes after this, so proceed at your own risk, but there is a lot of grass and seedy weeds growing there right now.
Further ahead, the Plumbeous Vireo from the other day continues around 32.550864, -117.092457, singing its little heart out.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] pelagic trip offering on November 1st |
There is a 9-hour boat trip (8AM-5PM) being offered by Seaforth Sportfishing aboard the "Legacy" whalewatch boat on Saturday, Nov. 1st, that is sort of a "wild card" trip. This is not a bird trip per se and is not offered by the usual birding entities, but is strictly a Seaforth/Legacy trip. The idea is to view all offshore wildlife, with obviously marine mammals being an important component, so if whales are found, the boat will stay with them for some period of time. Currently, there are only a relatively small number of sign-ups (so lots of room!) but I asked the captain just yesterday about that and he said the trip is guaranteed to go. I asked how far offshore they are guaranteed to go at a minimum, and he said if there are birders aboard then they would go at least well into the San Diego Trough, beyond the Nine-Mile Bank--which is a reasonable distance. Although he also said that their overall direction may be more initially to the northwest. Anyway, if they indeed get out this far, then the trip should have reasonable potential. I plan on going given how far offshore they will go, although I am not sure what other "leader types" will be attending. I am just a passenger and "spotter," and plan on being in the wheelhouse, as usual, helping to spot and announce the more interesting birds, but I am not an official boat leader given it is a direct Legacy/Seaforth offering. So, don't blame me if anything doesn't go quite according to plan. Again, this is a bit of a "wild card" offering, although it is an interesting time of year to be that far offshore!
If you are interested, sign up directly through Seaforth, as with the regular pelagic trips. And given that there is PLENTY of space on the trip, one could also wait until just a few days out if one wanted to get a better idea of what the sea conditions might be.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Summer Tanager and Plumbeous Vireo along Carrol Creek, Sorrento Valley Business Pk |
No super rarities, but these subject birds were actively foraging this afternoon between 3 and 3:45 pm in the riparian along Carrol Creek in back of Creekside Labs complex (just west of the intersection of Sorrento Valley Rd and I-805. This area has large sycamores and willows and other riparian vegetation. Details in ebird report https://ebird.org/checklist/S281352436
There is bad news and good news about birding this hotspot. The bad news is that we can no longer bird on the creek side path in back of building 10260, but the good news is, that birders can once again park in the large parking lot on the other side of the creek at this location and bird the creek from the parking lots there. I discussed this with a security person there today. It is a nice riparian area with a flowing creek. While there, I also saw for the first time, a coyote loping nonchalantly west along the creek bed.
Best birding to all, Sue

American Golden-Plover is on the west end of the island currently. White

Subject: Re: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] both red-throated pipits continue at dusty rhodes park 10-24-25 |
One anecdotal note on the condition of the fields. I happened to try the fields at Robb Field prior to Dusty Rhodes this morning, since they are larger in area. There were no pipits present during that search, and I noticed that the grass and forbs were noticeably higher at Dusty Rhodes than at Robb, with Robb looking more recently mowed to me. Perhaps that contributes to the pipits’ apparent predilection for Dusty Rhodes, if a real pattern.

Over the next half hour, it crossed paths multiple times with the second red-throated pipit (one appeared slightly brighter in the face?), but the second would disappear for periods of time.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Palm, Black-and-white, yellow-billed White-crowned |
A few highlights from Robb Field this morning, 23 October.
A Black-and-white Warbler (and a locally rare American Robin, ooh ahh) was
in the clump of ficus SW of the tennis court:
(32.7547140, -117.2406499)
A Palm Warbler in the south corner associated with Yellow-rumped Warblers:
(32.7516750, -117.2422176)
Perhaps most notable, a yellow-billed White-crowned Sparrow (pugetensis?)
was just east of that along the fence line next to Sunset Cliffs Blvd with
a flock of the expected, pink-billed Gambel’s. Not very cooperative and it
escaped without photos so if someone’s interested in trying to document
that it would be great.
The Tropical Kingbird was very vocal at dawn at the basketball court.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] La Jolla Cove, Oct 22; I-5N closure this weekend |
I had 90 minutes to bird at the Cove between meeting in La Jolla today, from 1:00-2:30.
There was a large pod of dolphins feeding about a mile offshore, and they attracted about 5000 birds. About 1000 black-vented shearwaters, 6 sooty shearwaters, 1200 brown pelicans [I ran into a photographer who said that there weren’t as many pelicans this afternoon as there had been in the morning].
Lots of gulls and cormorants.
Best bird was a juvenile Sabine’s Gull only 25 yards offshore.
A handful of common and Pacific loons and surf scoters.
If you are going on Saturday’s mini-pelagic or trying to get to Robb Field environs, know that I-5 heading North will be closed from Mission Bay to La Jolla [I don’t know the exact limit of the closure], which means there will be no access to Sea World Drive from the south. When this happened several weeks ago, access to Mission Bay on auxiliary roads was a nightmare, so plan an alternate route and give yourselves extra time.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] returning Am. Redstart; Tennessee & Plumbeous glut |
An adult male American Redstart is back for at least its fourth winter to Seaport Village, downtown. The last two years, one's best chances are around the little artificial pond next to the Malibu Farms Restaurant, but previous to that it was usually in the ficus trees in the nearby parking lot at the end of Kettner Blvd. Yesterday, I had a Hermit Warbler in Sorrento Valley, which I mention because I only average perhaps two coastal Hermits each fall, a time of year when most birds head south through the mountains. Heck, I see more individuals each fall of several eastern vagrants than I do Hermit Warblers!
Over the past few days, there have been several more Tennessee Warblers and a small slug of new Plumbeous Vireos. By my calculation, there have now been 26 Tennessee Warblers in the county during September and October, 25 near the coast and 1 in the desert. After a mere 6 Plumbeous Vireos in September, an October surge has added 20 more, several of which are returning wintering birds. Following a September with zero coastal Summer Tanagers, October has seen a slightly more respectable 10 birds found so far.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Notable specimens received via Project Wildlife at the San Diego Natural History Museum |
Dear friends,
Injured or sick birds that cannot be rehabilitated by Project Wildlife or Sea World can still serve a valuable purpose being preserved for the permanent record in the research collection at the San Diego Natural History Museum--and they often tell us about types of dispersal that we birders never observe. The most notable additions to the collection from this source this summer and fall...
Black Storm-Petrel, 28 September 2025, NASSCO shipyard onSan Diego Bay near Barrio Logan: juvenile female reportedly flew into a beam ona ship (SDNHM 58377). Unfortunately the record doesn’t say if it was at nightor by day. Whenever we receive storm-petrels from on shore or inland, they are invariably juveniles in the fall (except for the rare Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel in winter). Linda King informed me of two other Black Storm-Petrelsbrought to Project Wildlife, then transferred to Sea World: another from NASSCOon 23 September and one from Jamacha Road, El Cajon, on 25 September. I haven’tyet heard if they survived to be released. I can only surmise that juvenile storm-petrelsfledging on Los Coronados Islands become disoriented by city lights and end upflying toward them. This latest Black Storm-Petrel was extremely fat, suggesting it had been well supplied by its parents and only recently fledged. We now have over 25 specimens of such inland storm-petrels, of allthree species nesting on Los Coronados.
American Bittern, 30 September 2025, National City: adultfemale found entangled in a passion-fruit vine with a broken left tarsus (SDNHM58376). The location was 1 mile north of the Sweetwater River, the closest siteof any habitat even marginally suitable for an American Bittern.
Ridgway’s Rail, 9 August 2025, Normal Heights, San Diego:juvenile female found injured with a small patch of feathers missing from theright side of the breast, suggesting that it hit an electrical wire, thencrashed to the ground (SDNHM 58346). Of the various specimens of Ridgway’s Railwe have received from atypical habitat, this is the second farthest fromsuitable habitat (one from El Cajon was the farthest). Essentially all havebeen in juvenile plumage around this time of year.
Guadalupe Murrelet, 28 August 2025, came aboard a boat somewhereoffshore (SDNHM 58362). My attempts to contact the finder to get any moreprecise locality have not yet been answered—I’ll keep trying.
Red-whiskered Bulbul, 17 June 2025, "originally foundoff Greenfield Dr.", El Cajon: juvenile female (recently fledged); hadbeen kept in captivity ~8 days before transfer to Project Wildlife (SDNHM58262). The odd circumstances suggest the bird could have been raised incaptivity. Dispersers from the population established in the San Gabriel Valleyof Los Angeles County have been seen south to southern Orange County but notyet in San Diego County, as far as I know.
Blackburnian Warbler, 13 October 2025, Linda Vista, San Diego:immature male found in shrubbery near a multi-story medical building onCardinal Court—therefore about 0.8 mile from Kearny Mesa Community Park, wherea Blackburnian was seen a few days earlier (SDNHM 58375). Only 2 previousspecimens preserved from San Diego County, 13 previous specimens fromCalifornia as a whole.
Black-and-white Warbler, 21 September 2025, between CarmelMt. and Del Mar Mesa: immature male hit a garage door (SDNHM 58374).
Good birding,
Philip UnittSan Diego

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Sign up now for the San Diego Christmas bird count, just 2 months away |
Dear friends,
If you haven't already, please sign up now for the San Diego Christmas bird count on 20 December 2025! Last year's 230 species smashed the previous record of 223 set only the previous year. Help keep our momentum going! The greater the participation, the better our results. For the results of last year's count, please see https://www.sdnhm.org/files/1317/3811/0760/San_Diego_CBC_FinalReport_2024.pdf--with lots of context for how the count illuminates the checkered history of so many species.
To sign up, please use the form at San Diego Christmas Bird Count 2025. Answers to the few questions on this form help us greatly with the count's organization, and use of this form helps us keep track of everyone in a single system. With 171 participants last year, this is no small task. While stability of the count territories and their responsible observers is important for the efficiency of the count, changes are inevitable, and we are always tinkering with ways to improve our coverage. For which we welcome your suggestions! Please address any correspondence to <cbc...> to ensure that the entire organizing committee gets the message.
If you're not familiar with the locations of San Diego County's Christmas bird count circles, please see page 12 (Figure 2) in the San Diego County Bird Atlas, available at https://sdplantatlas.org/ge_files/pdf/IntroMethods.pdf. First run by just two teams in 1922, the San Diego Christmas bird count has been a community-science event since 1953--San Diego's longest-running community-science project. The count circle has been fixed at its current position since 1963, making it immensely valuable for understanding long-tern change. Be part of it!

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] pet Mandarin Ducks (PLEASE STOP); Blackpoll, miscellanea |
As the reports of escaped Mandarin Ducks at Rohr Park begin to snowball, it seems like a good time to mention that these birds are clearly escaped aviculturalists' (waterfowl fancier) pets. This species is widespread in private collections and periodically escapes. In San Diego County over the years they have turned up at several sites, with other recent bird(s) at, for example, Santee Lakes. They are clearly escapes and there is essentially almost zero chance these will become eBird "provisional" species in our lifetimes.
This morning, Thursday, there was a Blackpoll Warbler downtown at Pantoja Park. The two clumps of huge ficus/fig trees there have lots of ripe/fermenting fruit which is attracting a fair number of Yellow-rumpeds and a few other warblers.
In other news, in the last 10 days I've had 6 different Plumbeous Vireos at various coastal sites, so a nice recent run of them. Also on private property a couple Tennessees, an adult male American Redstart, and a Black-and-white Warbler. Speaking of Black-and-whites, so far it's been a slow fall for them, as well as for Palm Warblers and Tropical Kingbirds. Conversely, it has been a very good to excellent fall to date for Tennessee, Magnolia, and Blackburnian Warblers. And while Blackpoll Warblers seemed to start off strong in September, they have slacked way off in October, which is normally their best month here locally.

I am assuming this is the same one found last Saturday by Max Malmquist that has just flown under the radar since. No sign of the Magnolia, but every warbler that wasn't a Yellow-rumped was apparently taken by the rapture shortly after 3pm. It was working through the line of tamarisks and taking care to either be completely buried or directly in the sun at all times.

eBIRD Q & A: A ROUND-TABLE DISCUSSION WITH SAN DIEGO eBIRD REVIEWERSZoom Meeting,Tuesday, 21 October, 6PM
All San Diego County eBird users are encouraged to attend this meeting, which will be a give-and-take discussion with most of San Diego County's eBird reviewers. Topics will include eBird best practices and suggestions for improvement, commonly made human errors, and using MERLIN do's and don'ts. The discussion will include periodic Q & A periods from attendees, so come armed with your questions and concerns! This is your chance to ask the reviewers those questions you've always been meaning to ask. This meeting will hopefully result both in more savvy local eBirders and in less work for the local San Diego eBird reviewers!
This is a zoom meeting and is the monthly meeting of San Diego Field Ornithologists. It will be open to everyone, be they a member or not, to encourage maximum attendance. The discussion begins at 6PM, but folks can sign in as much as 10 minutes beforehand for some socializing. The discussion will last one hour or slightly longer. The link to attend is:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84151564168
The regular meeting announcement sent out to paid SDFO members will also go out this coming Monday, as usual, with the same link.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] continuing but less than cooperative Baird's sandpiper San Elijo 10-13-25 |
Sorry for the delayed post. Late this morning, Maryanne Bache and Carol Manning reported possibly having a Baird's sandpiper off the "Pole Rd" at San Elijo Lagoon, to the west of the north end of Rios Ave in Solana Beach, but were less than certain on its ID (one had been reported by Tim Hajda and then by Sean Buchanan over the weekend). Around 11:30, I had brief glimpses of their bird as it moved among other peeps and through cordgrass stubble and clumped algal mats in the general area of Tim's first sighting (they were scoping to the east of the maintenance road, just SE of the railroad berm pedestrian underpass, south of the pump station; I was scoping to the WSW from the maintenance road on the NNW edge of the bluffs and condos off the NW end of Rios Ave, south of the bench and overlook near the peninsula trail junction; bird was south of a patch of tules SE of the pump station). The peeps shifted around and I finally got a fairly satisfying view of it and confirmed ID as it foraged in the open across a mat of dried grass to the NNE of the tule patch (long wings, scaly appearing back/wings, finely but densely streaked head and breast with buffy wash, contrasting pale supercilium, black legs, relatively longish thin straight black beak; longer/larger appearing than adjacent westerns). It then flushed, and we were joined by others attempting to refind it. Some of us had less than satisfying looks at a possible candidate back south of the tule patch, but peeps shifted and it was not refound. Later, around 12:30, I again had brief glimpses of what I'm fairly confident was it moving in and out of view through grass stubble and algal clumps off the SW end of the peninsula trail, but before I could call others over, it flushed to the north.
Also in the area was what I took to be a juv reddish egret (looked too pale to me to be a worn adult, but that's a possibility). One had been reported over the weekend by Steve Perry, and it had been seen earlier that morning by Maryanne and Carol, as well as by Anita Hayworth. We saw it fly west to east from near the pump station, and later animatedly foraging to the NE of the Rios peninsula, refound by Kathy Aldern and Jane Mygatt.
Earlier, on private property, I had an acorn woodpecker along the south edge of the Encinitas Country Day School property.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Possible Summer Tanager at Kearney Mesa |
All,
This morning I am thinking I came across a female Summer Tanager at Kearney Mesa Community park. I have photos showing a striking yellow/orange bird with large bill, and mostly no wingbars, also picked up a mediocre recording of a downward chatter call indicative of a Summer. I’m not 100% positive in my ID as this may be a Western after all so I would love some feedback!
I saw it in the clearing here (32°48'10"N 117°09'57"W) it flew between the various trees. Here is a link to my eBird checklist with the photos and audio: https://ebird.org/checklist/S279061352
email me at <griffinrohrer...> if you would like or we can talk on this thread.
Best,

Unfortunately I haven't seen tor heard anything from the Yellow-green

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Yellow-throated Warbler MIA |
Since about 9:00 a.m. the Yellow-throated warbler has gone MIA. It came back West along the line of palm trees along the bike trail and ended up in trees adjacent to the very end of the parking lot next to the skateboard park and the east end of the tennis courts, but then vanished. Whether it's still in the line of palms, or in any pines, or just gone, we don't know. The bird was always difficult as it was hidden in the denser live palm fronds up to 90% of the time. And there's now a breeze blowing. So refinding this bird could be quite difficult, although anywhere in the palms lining the parking lot and bike trail from the tennis courts eastward to the Sunset cliffs bridge is probably at least fair game. Listen for its sweet chip note which it gave occasionally.
No surprise, the Tropical Kingbird continues.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Maybe Yellow-Green Vireo at Japanese Garden |
Hi all,
Passing along a report from visiting birder Andrew Melnykovych who emailed San Diego Bird Alliance this evening:
“I was in the Japanese Garden at Balboa Park this afternoon and briefly saw what might have been a Yellow-green Vireo. My first thought, being from Kentucky, was Red-eyed Vireo, but they're even less likely here. The bird was associating with a couple of Orange-crowned Warblers and was moving around a lot. I never managed a photo, but had one decent look in binoculars. I ultimately put it into eBird as vireo sp. (with a description), which won't trigger an alert or a review, so I'm reaching out to you in case you think it's worth exploring further and want to put the word out. Here's a link to my eBird list:”
https://ebird.org/checklist/S278230926
Given the recent sightings of Yellow-green Vireo to our north, could be worth investigating tomorrow. The description doesn’t rule out Warbling Vireo, but I’m assuming the observer is familiar with (Eastern) those in KY.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Saturday pelagic trip CANCELED |
The sold-out pelagic trip scheduled for this Saturday the 11th has been CANCELED due to a troublesome and deteriorating marine forecast. Winds up to possible gale force out beyond 60 miles are forecast to generate seas where we typically visit of up to 5 or 6 feet and at a tight interval. Plus a little bit of local wind wave and a small opposite-direction hurricane swell from the south. It would be a very unpleasant ride. We are all very bummed about this, but it is for the best for our health and safety. Unfortunately, the boat is not available for a reschedule anytime in the next month.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] New hot spot created for location of the Blackburnian Warbler in Pacific Heights area |
Hi,
A new hot spot has been created for the most recent location of the
Blackburnian Warbler in the Pacific Heights business park area in
Sorrento Mesa (thanks Justyn). It's called Pacific Heights Tipus. For
anyone who created a personal location for their list for that spot, you
can switch to the hot spot. Or if that's where you really saw the
Blackburnian, but used the Sorrento Gateway Tipus hot spot, you might
want to consider switching your location.
Note that this location is a business park. I was there over the
weekend, which was not a problem. There is legal on street parking. I
did not notice any no trespassing signs, but didn't do a really thorough
check. There are signs regarding unauthorized vehicles being towed if
they park in the business parking lots, so at least during the week best
to stick to street parking.

Lisa Ruby and I birded that road and Discovery Lake on 22 Sep and included it all under the hotspot for Discovery Lake. It's where we found the Plumbeous Vireo. Warbler activity in the Tipus at that time was fair to middling with Yellow, Orange-crowned, Townsend's and Wilson's. In Feb 2024 this area had the Golden-crowned Kinglet and we also put the entire checklist under Discovery Lake with GPS for specific location. It is a good place to watch.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Least Flycatcher |
Several people were there this morning at FRNC. The bird was heard by a couple of people past the committal shelter down by the fence in the right hand large ficus (32.685706, -117.242871). After waiting a while it was then seen briefly by a couple of people as well. It stayed well up in the ficus, buried in the dark part of the tree behind multiple small branches preening. Then it swiftly moved and was not seen again. It never called again after that one time. It was possibly a bird that dropped from the tree down the hill was the Least from the way it looked and flew. Everyone left around 8 after waiting with no success.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Continuing Warbler rarities at Carmel Valley Community Park |
For anyone not following eBird Alerts, the following Warblers continued
at Carmel Valley Community Park this afternoon:
The Cape May Warbler found by David Trissel and ID'd by Max on 9/29 is
still there. This afternoon it was in a tipu behind the backstop in the
northeast corner of the upper park area. I was there most of the
afternoon and never saw it anywhere else. I haven't checked other recent
eBird reports to see if others have seen it in the last few days in its
previous locations of the tipu by the puddles and the tipu by the
northwest corner stairs.
The Northern Parula, not sure who was the first person to spot it
yesterday, was all over the place in the upper section of the park this
afternoon. C. Jackson pointed it out to me when I arrived and reached
the top of the northwest stairs. At that point it was moving around in
most of the trees on the other side of the north chain link fence. We
lost it and it was later found in the same tipu as the Cape May behind
the backstop in the northeast corner. A bit later some of us found it
again in the small tipu that is next to the large tipu by the puddles on
the west side of the upper park area. And then it moved to the large
tipu by the corner stairs and we lost it again.
The Tennessee Warbler first reported on 9/30 (not sure who found it) was
foraging high up in the tipu by the puddles. Difficult bird.
There is a big increase in Yellow-rumpeds in the park since I was there
last, which may be why the Cape May moved. Might have been getting
harassed. Don't know if that's why the Parula was moving around so much.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Ruby-throated Hummingbird |
Dear Birders,
I am a little late with this acknowledgment, but just wanted to give public thanks to Paul Lehman for identifying and consulting with other hummingbird experts and their ensuing discussions on the identification of the Ruby-throated. Such a great education. In addition, Paul found the best solution for many birders to navigate around for viewing with the least stress on the neighborhood. I am so very grateful for that since the idea of lots of birders with cameras crawling up the slopes or possibly going into a private residence was stressing me out. Some of you may not know that Kathy Aldern initially spotted the bird during our BVAS monthly walk.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Ruby-throated Hummingbird Sex Change! (and feeding behavior) |
Due to the presence of stippling on the throat, we first thought the Carlsbad Ruby-throated Hummingbird was a young male. But it turns out that females have not only clean whitish throats but they can also have lightly/partially stippled throats. Also, most young males by early October would seemingly be showing the first few larger gorget feathers with adult color on them, which this bird does not. (A couple noticeable dark blobs along the lower edge of the throat on this bird are not larger gorget feathers appearing but are actually small gaps in the feathering resulting from presumed missing feathers.) Whether or not the bird is a female or young male can actually be important, as that would influence such characters as the exact shape of P10 and P6 and play a role in bill length. (This bird being a female would help better match P10 and P6 as Ruby-throated. And females of many hummer species have longer bills than the males, so if a female then the bill on the Carlsbad bird better fits Ruby-throated rather than the longer-billed female Black-chinned.) We sent a photo taken of the spread wing, showing the shape of P10 and other P's to a seasoned hummingbird bander in Louisiana, and he wrote back that it looks just fine to him for Ruby-throated. He also wrote that the shape of P5 (not a feather I knew to study) indeed makes the bird a FEMALE.
Anyway, everyone, including me, who included in their eBird details that the bird is a young male, needs to change that to female, or leave unspecified.
Lastly, a character I was able to study, but is very difficult to see from the path because the bird is mostly hidden while feeding, is that when the bird is flying around amongst the hedge looking for the appropriate blossoms, it is moderately pumping the tail (slightly less emphatically than a Black-chinned) but the moment it sticks its bill in a flower, the pumping stops and it just lightly jiggles of shivers the closed tail, and then it immediately starts pumping the tail again when the bill is removed from the flower. In contrast, Black-chinneds keep pumping the tail. This matches perfectly with what we are told by hummingbird experts that the two species do.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Chasing the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, or any rare hummingbird for that matter |
For those chasing the Ruby-throated hummingbird, or any stakeout rare hummingbird for that matter, be aware that many hummingbirds migrate during the day and what they do is they feed just several times first thing in the morning to tank up and then they depart. So whatever is the last day for the Ruby throat, there's a good chance it would be present only first thing in the morning for perhaps an hour and then it leaves. So if you are contemplating chasing the bird and will not be doing so today, or any later day for that matter, once you've heard that the bird is present throughout a fair part of the day, then assume it will stay till not only dark but the very beginning of the following morning, but then after that all bets are off. Today, the bird started feeding and calling already at Civil Twilight 20 minutes before even official dawn, if not slightly earlier than that. So today around 6:20 or 6:30 in the morning. Don't wait until you hear that it's still there, and don't have a long leisurely breakfast, as you then might conceivably be too late if it happens to be the bird's last final day.
There have been many horror stories over the years from many different states of people chasing rare hummingbirds, often at feeders, where they waited until they heard it was there or took a little too long to get there and missed the bird by an hour or less, never to be seen again.

As a quick followup to Paul's point - when posting to eBird, it would
probably be a good idea to either omit the coordinates entirely, or to post
the coordinates with messaging about how to access the bird without
disturbing the neighborhood. Otherwise, people who aren't on this listserv
but are subscribed to eBird rare bird alerts may see only the coordinates
and take whatever path they can find to get there.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] RUBY-THROATED Hummingbird in Carlsbad |
A young male Ruby-throated Hummingbird was discovered yesterday during a BVAS walk and ID confirmed this morning in Carlsbad. This is the somewhat overdue first county record for San Diego County . The bird is a little west of Leo Carrillo Ranch State Historic Park, or whatever it's exact official name is. This area borders or is in a residential area that birders will not invade under any circumstances. You must follow the directions below on accessing the site and do not do anything else. If anybody blows it and takes it upon themselves to do something different, we will do all we can to ban that person from the listserve and never receive instructions again. We are serious about this.
I will post a Google map site and lat-long for the parking spot below, but here are the instructions. Once you get to that spot, Take the access paved little trail to the north northwest down to the much broader dirt path which is the Rancho Carrillo Trail. Turn right and follow the broad dirt path as it bends to the right and ends up going Northeast and East around the back of several houses that are on the end of Via Conquistador. Once you've gone around the bend, look on the right on the slope up to the right and you will see a blooming Cape Honeysuckle hedge and a peppertree on the immediate left edge of the hedge. The bird feeds in the hedge, along with one or two marauding Allen's hummingbirds, and it perches along the right edge of the pepper tree, having a couple favorite branches. We are happy to report that the ruby-throated seems to be holding its own against the Allens! If you want to see anything more than just a generic hummingbird, you will need to bring a scope. It gives soft "tew" notes typical of ruby throated and black chinned. It is a young male but has no true color coming in yet on the gorget. It looks like a black chinned, with a distinct face pattern, but it has a deeper brighter green back and the entire crown is a fairly bright medium green. The other major difference is the shape of the outermost primary, P10, which requires very good scope views to ascertain, and be careful that you are not looking at the larger and broader P9 and p8 which cover most of P10 much of the time. And ruby-throated, P10 is narrower straighter and more pointy than the club-shaped broader blunter P10 of black chinned. Under no circumstances, and I repeat, no circumstances should you park on Via Conquistador and attempt to take the access path that may be available from there. We are all to leave the homeowners there alone and in peace and quiet. And certainly under no circumstances approach the house where you think the bird might be visiting the edge of their backyard. Just stay on the the Rancho Carrillo Trail below, which is just fine. It's a public path and you are out of sight of the houses anyway because you're lower down. And also under no circumstances attempt to climb up the slope to get just slightly closer to the hedge and thus cause erosion and stomp on the vegetation and if in sight of the homeowners out their back windows would be incensed and outraged. Stay on the path.
Parking for the trail access point is along Paseo Lunada, just north of Rancho Pancho. Parking should not be an issue because there are essentially no homes along that block of that street.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] LEWIS'S WOODPECKER at Santee Lakes continues |
The Lewis's Woodpecker at Santee Lakes continues through sunset today
(Friday October 3). It was sighted throughout the day, and almost always
at or near the top of the first wooden power pole in the campground. I had
it under observation until just after 6 pm, when it flew from the power
pole perch onto the trunk of a nearby palm tree directly across the street
and began to climb slowly up the trunk. I did not see the bird again
during the half-hour or so before I departed, but I believe it continued
to move up the trunk into the skirt of dead fronds on the palm (I took
photos of the skirt and will examine them tomorrow).
As it moved up, it softly vocalized its "churrrr" call.
I'm not sure who first located this bird, but my thanks and a hat tip (h/t)
to that person.
Good birding!

Hi! Pretty sure we had a red-eyed vireo just now on the cement walking path just to the east of High Bluff Drive in Del Mar / Carmel valley area. Here are the coordinates below. We parked at the Del Mar Technology Center on High Bluff Drive and walked over. If other locals know a better way to get to this path, or place to park, maybe you could chime in?

Hi neighbors,
Just following up on my earlier post about duct cleaning. A few of us are looking to book together with Quality Air Solutions to get the discounted group rate.
If you’ve also noticed dust buildup or have been meaning to get your ducts cleaned, this is a good chance to save a bit while getting it done.
If you’re interested, please reply here to my mail, so we can coordinate.

Hi all,
Just the messenger, but came across a Facebook post in the Photo-birding in San Diego Facebook group of a juvenile/immature Lewis’s Woodpecker photographed at Santee Lakes. I was told by the poster that it was at lake 6. I’m suspecting that this is the same bird that Brennan Mulrooney reported on 9/25 in the neighborhood right next to the lakes as it looks pretty similar.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Flammulated Owl |
Hello, I'm a long time lurker and first time writer to the group. I was pretty excited when I saw the rare eBird alert about the flammulated owl. I tried my best to go see the bird a couple days ago, but Point Loma Nazarene covers a very large area. Unfortunately, and I think understandably, people are a bit secretive about the exact location that it was spotted in, as there is concern for stressing out the bird. However, as someone new to birding, and an unknown person to the group, and wanting to be able to participate in these types of things, what's the best way to get involved? Thanks in advance!

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] "Rec Center" versus Community Park; continuing Blackburnian, Magnolia, Am. Redstart |
Just in the interest of trying to keep the data accurate and consistent, remember that in many or most cases, a "rec center" refers only to the building where one might play basketball or go swimming and that is part of a community or other type of park. For example, the current Cape May Warbler is frequenting Carmel Valley Community Park, not a rec center. Unfortunately, a number of our well-used map services only label the rec center and don't label the surrounding park.
On Tuesday morning, the Blackburnian Warbler and American Redstart continue in Sorrento Valley and the Magnolia Warbler continues in University City, all described as to location in multiple previous posts and eBird lists. Both these sites are parking lots used by businesses, so please everyone be on your best behavior.

The Cape May was refound around 4:30 and was still visible when we left at 4:50. It moved between the tipu at the top of the big stairs to the big tipu with water underneath it near the south baseball diamond.

The beautiful male Cape May Warbler continues in its original tipu at Carmel Valley Community Park.

Earlier it moved to the Tipu in the corner by the stairs and then we lost it for a while. It has come down to the puddle for water a few times.

Based on Max L's photo, I think this is a Cape May that was initially
confused as a Prairie Warbler.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Painted Redstart at UCSD, Near “South Parking Structure” |
Painted Redstart working high up in mature tipus on grassy patch immediately west of Avery Library, across Biomedical Sciences Way from South Parking structure and to the east of parking lot P610.
I know it’s not terribly convenient for people not presently on campus to bird the campus what with parking and the start of the school year, but figured I would get the word out for those that may be.
