Magnolia Warbler (Setophaga magnolia) (1)
- Reported Sep 27, 2024 08:25 by Eunice Schroeder
- Village at Los Carneros Open Space, Santa Barbara, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.8612975&<ll...>,-119.8612975 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S196637482 - Comments: "Continuing. First seen at 8:35 a.m. in the large oak on the north side of the path by the lawn area, then very intermittently on both sides of the path up to 9:15 a.m. (34.4347038, -119.8611989). Foraging actively. Gray head, white eyering, yellow underparts with bold dark streaks on chest and flanks, white wingbars, greenish on back, white undertail."
Brief views of it in a dense oak (34.434559, -119.860976), just to the left of where it's been seen over the last view sightings. Best view was of its back half, showing grey above, yellow below with black streaks. Briefly saw it from the outside of the tree (and got a very overexposed photo...) showing the white eyering. I think we saw it head over the creek a few minutes after this (~5:27), and it was pretty silent after that.
Waited for another hour but it didn't show back up. Seems to like this area, but maybe only as part of a larger circuit."
