Subject: [southbaybirds] Vasona Summer Birding
Hey Everyone!

Today I set out around sunrise at Vasona Lake in search of eastern spring
vagrants, while I didn't have any eastern vagrants, I did have a good
morning of birding. I saw 61 species, a new high for me and Vasona in the
summer and some of the highlights were a female *Black Chinned
Hummingbird *hanging
out near the flowering eucs here (37.2409066, -121.9715395), an odd *Clark's
Grebe *(A first for me at Vasona!), My latest *Yellow Rumped Warbler *in
the county ever, and finally a weird large swift that I am 50/50 of it
being a *Black Swift. *However I got horrible documentation of the swift
which makes it a tough one to confirm. Overall a great day of summer
birding! List attached below.

Happy Birding,
