Present this morning in the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Preserve near the location where John Callender reported it (near Santa Monica Creek). We missed it earlier but got the word it had been refound around 9:00 a.m. by Adrian O'Laughlin and Lynn Scarlett. The bird spent a fair amount of time feeding out on the marsh and came to the fence only for short visits, as it was pursued each time by the resident Mockingbird. Bird this area VERY CAREFULLY due to the proximity of the railroad tracks.
There was also a very vociferous Yellow-breasted Chat singing near the restrooms at the end of Ash Avenue.
