Hi all,
I am messaging on behalf of those that were present today with me.
The Yellow-green Vireo continued throughout the late morning in the coordinates provided by Cynthia. Thank you, and to those present on helping get everyone on the bird :))
Linda -
This message is particularly for you … thank you for your sacrifice but we wished you were with us! :)) The chunky vireo seems to like making a slow, yet obstructed circuit along the Sycamores that line the NW corner of the business parking lot (Athlete’s First LLC). Various spotting by others present today included activity along the corner mentioned, in the short willow “bushes” down in the ravine, and up in the Eucs collecting moths in the same general area. This particular bird was observed fairly low but mostly mid canopy, however, characteristically obstructed while we were there … my suggestion would be to focus on slower, denser movement in the canopies, similar to the foraging habit of a Western Tanager (that are also present) that hops within the dense foliage. Best of luck and it was a pleasure to meet you!! :))
Happy Migration,
Sylvia Afable et al
Huntington Beach and other Orange counties
