This morning on the north side of the park, accessed from the 15th Street gate by the tennis courts, I observed a Dusky Orange-crowned Warbler (sordida ssp. that nests on the Channel Islands) working the thickets behind the blue house. This is probably a returning individual; one was observed here throughout fall and early winter of 25-26. A first fall male Rose-breasted Grosbeak was in the same area and seemed to be making its way toward one of the backyard feeders.
I continue to see House Finches in the park showing symptoms of Avian Pox. If you put out feeders or water for birds please step up the cleanings.
The 3rd Saturday "Birding the Hill" starts at 8 a.m. 9/19 in front of the Randall Museum. You can sign up here:
