Nice find, Edana. This represents the earliest record of a fall migrant in California. The previous earliest record was from Point Loma, San Diego County, on 2 September 2018. Edana's checklist is here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S388103805.

This morning, I saw a large big billed flycatcher at the end of the island near the bathing spot. After a review of all the photos and consultation, I believe it is a Greater Pewee.
I didn’t get coordinates at the time, but these may work - (33.7045108, -118.0017317)
I originally put my list out with the numerous photos under New World, flycatcher sp. I will change it soon so it will come out on the rare bird list.
