The third Grace's Warbler of this winter is now present in the Stonecrest neighborhood, just east of Serra Mesa and just north of Snapdragon Stadium. The bird was actually foraging in tipu trees, although there are a reasonable number of scattered or lines of pines in the immediate area and where presumably it spends time. The bird was mostly on private HOA property, so exact location will not be given here, but if anyone in "desperate" to try, please contact me privately. But the current "preferred" bird in the county is the one on Crest Drive in Encinitas. However, this is the time of season (mid-March to early April) when wintering Grace's typically depart.
A Black-and-white Warbler was in sycamore trees along the paved walkway bordering Nimitz Blvd. at the very north end of Bill Cleator Park in northern Point Loma. A Black-and-white was in this park in late October, thus may or may not be the same bird.
Two of the wintering Bay-breasted Warblers in town were still present over the past few days, and they are both now showing heavy signs of molt (especially about the head). Yesterday, the Northern Parula continued at Kate O. Sessions Park, and the Magnolia Warbler, Summer Tanager, White-winged Scoter, and Short-billed Gull all continued at Vacation Isle/Paradise Point.
