Swinhoe's White-eye (Zosterops simplex) (Exotic: Provisional) (1)
- Reported Jan 06, 2026 10:48 by Jessie Altstatt
- Goleta, 102 Orange Ave, Santa Barbara, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.82857&<ll...>,-119.82857 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S292856240 - Comments: "Warbler size olive color bird with obvious white goggles and distinctive calls. Visiting the hummingbird feeder. Although I only saw one today there have been two coming and going from my feeder for the past 7 weeks but I have been in and out so much it's been hard to track them. I'm assuming they're the same birds that visited me for much of 2024/5."
