One of the little joys of birding late in the spring migration season, either at sites where particular species don't breed or at morning-flight locations, Is the ability to document late dates for birds to still be on the move at sites where they are very unlikely to breed. This morning on Point Loma was a good example, with a Western Kingbird at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery tying the late date of a spring migrant, a Blue Grosbeak there being the second latest spring migrant date, and a Lark Sparrow in residential Point Loma possibly setting a new late date for a spring migrant. Unless any of these birds were instead some sort of random early-summer wanderer rather than a true spring migrant..... Though that would still be interesting.
