Hello friends,
Following up with the earlier report on the local WhatsApp group, a juvenile Ruff was seen earlier this morning around 11:00am by Christine Beck at the Lower Otay River area [GPS: 32.633877, -116.898749]. Big thanks to Christine and all others who have been checking this mudflat for migrants this fall.
Last we heard, Paul was on-site, and no peeps of any size were afoot. Likely flushed by the local peregrine falcon. Any news from Otay today?
Thank you,
Lindsay Willrick

PS: THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS...we are almost two weeks out from the famous broad-billed hummingbird arrival date in Golden Hill. I have my feeders up and ready to welcome her, and hopefully her boyfriend too. I hope she survived the summer and returns for the 3rd year. I'll post if she shows!
Past Arrival-Departure dates:
October 4, 2024 to Feb 24, 2025
October 9, 2023 to Feb 12, 2024
