Continues this morning for its 4th day. Usually in the eucalyptus on the fence line and with a roving, mixed warbler flock of about a dozen birds. It's a very difficult bird as this flock is not in the park all the time. It does some sort of circuit through the neighborhood yards and I'm not sure how often the flock comes through the park. Every time it's been seen, it has been in the morning and everyone who has tried in the afternoons seems to have missed it. Although, there has been a compensation TENNESSEE WARBLER here for some.
What is the most interesting aspect of this bird is that it was banded on Southeast Farallon on 9/18 and turned up here 10 days later (I've been watching this park daily the past couple of weeks). Many thanks to Louis Wang for excellent photos showing the band and to Jim Tietz for confirming.
Best, Andy BirchLos Feliz
