Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Black Tern on South San Diego Bay |
Wednesday morning between 7:20 and 7:35 there was a basic plumaged Black Tern west of J Street along the shore of the peninsula where the glGray tailed Tattler was several years ago. Something flushed a lot of the birds and I'm not sure where it went, but I think it stayed on that peninsula. The flats are disappearing as the tide comes in so the bird could be anywhere nearby, including inside the Salt Works. Needle in a haystack to refineld it, but best bets would be checking the Salt Works ponds visible from 13th and 8th streets or coming back here at the next low tide. There was also a 1-year-old Common Tern in the area.
Earlier in the morning, there was a rare Inland Willett at the the mud-flat east end of Lower Otay Reservoir.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] upcoming August San Diego pelagic trips |
First off, the upcoming July 19th pelagic trip off San Diego has only three open spaces remaining, so it will likely sell out within the next couple days.
The three trips scheduled in August still have plenty of space. Similar to all the trips, they are aboard "Legacy" from Seaforth Sportfishing and are sponsored by Buena Vista Audubon Society. Information on expected and possible species, logistics, and how to make reservations can be found at sandiegopelagics.com; or, for reservations only, go directly to sdwhale.com
The two trips in early August are back to back on August 9 & 10 (optional to take both, of course!), the idea being to allow any out-of-town folks the chance to get offshore twice with just a single visit. The late August trip is on August 23. All these trips are during the peak period for Townsend's and Leach's Storm-Petrels. The late August trip is at the beginning of the usual period for Least Storm-Petrel. Early August has the possibility of Cook's Petrel. All have a high chance of getting Craveri's Murrelet, a variety of typical West Coast pelagic species, and some returning migrants from the north (e.g., Long-tailed Jaeger, Arctic Tern, Sabine's Gull). And all trips have possibilities for such rarities as albatrosses, South Polar Skua, Red-billed Tropicbird, and a variety of boobies.
Trips remaining later in the year are another back-to-back weekend on September 6 & 7, and September 27 and October 11.

Saw this bird on the new hill formed from dredge taken from restoration work, just south of Dust Devil Trails. Wondering if this is an early dispersed bird from interior or possibly locally raised?

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Nazca Booby, Indigo Bunting situation |
This morning, Tuesday, at 7:09AM, an adult or almost-adult Nazca Booby appeared at the La Jolla seawatch associated with a large feeding frenzy going on a bit offshore. It stayed only a minute and then disappeared, either landing on the water or escaping out the back. Not sure if this could be the same individual of approximately the same age seen by others a few days earlier.
Yesterday, Charlie Jackson and friend had at least one brownish Indigo Bunting just a little to the north of the long-staying territorial male Indigo at Lake Hodges. There remains some question as to whether there is one or two brownish birds. Photo of one shows a wash to blue to some of the brown, something actually possible in female Indigos. (A first-year male should have much more extensive, and brighter, blotchy blue overall.) This is sort of akin to some female Summer Tanagers having a fair bit of reddish wash to the plumage. Anyway, if someone is looking for a challenging project, it would certainly be worth exploring the bright male's territory and just to the north, and see exactly how many birds are involved and what might be going on in the private lives of Indigo Buntings. For photos of the various buntings there, see Charlie's eBird list:https://ebird.org/checklist/S255729525

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Nazca booby - La Jolla Seawatch |
A black and white booby made a few passes by the fishermen and kayakers off
seawatch at 7:35 today. It was adult plumaged and, once closer, showed a
noticeably orangey base to the bill, which fits for a Nazca Booby. This was
an older bird than the Masked booby seen here on June 18.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Murrelet at Oceanside Harbor |
I noticed a murrelet swimming in the boat channel leading to Oceanside harbor thismorning. I am reporting it since murrelets are not typically inshore species. The bird was generally far to the north of the accessible jetty, but at one point it swam parallel to and just off the jetty from the "T" east nearly to the actual harbor. Field marks (lack of black wedge on the breast, white chin, white mark in front of the eye) indicate a Scripp'sMurrelet. The bird never allowed a view of its wing linings. I will provide photos with an ebird report later today. Hopefully, some of our pelagic bird experts will weigh in onthe i.d. if they don't actually find the bird.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] La Jolla Masked Booby and Pigeon Guillemot |
Wednesday morning the 18th, Paul Mulholland and I did seawatching at La Jolla, my arriving first at civil Twilight no later than 5:30 a.m. and in the first half hour saw 1200 Black vented shearwaters, plus a few Sooties. But the big excitement happened first between 7:15 and 7:20 when we had a breeding plumaged Pigeon Guillemot flying north, the first time there may well have ever been a guillemot, or murre for that matter, seen flying North, as typically all these rare alcids seen here are going south. And then between 7:45 and 8:00 a.m. a sub-adult black and white booby appeared and proceeded to spend 15 minutes circling around the fishing boats, diving into the water and getting fish. Given that the bird appears to be at least 2 years old and showed an entirely greeny yellow bill, we believe that it was a Masked Booby. PM got some very distant shots that clearly show a sub-adult black and white booby but may or may not be able to see bill color. It disappeared a few minutes after 8:00 a.m. and we don't know where it went. The other bird worth mentioning is that numbers of of breeding plumage adult Heermann's Gulls are now returning, Right on time.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Spring and fall migrations overlap today |
The male Scarlet Tanager yesterday at Point Loma and the Red-eyed Vireo at Carlsbad the past 2 days-- both late-spring vagrants--were both were missed this morning so may well be gone. Still this morning, the 18th, a late-lingering spring migrant Western Wood- Pewee at Fort Rosecrans Cemetery. But simultaneous with all this today are the first several alternate- plumaged "fall" arrival Willets and an increase in the number of Long billed Curlews from what over-summered, also right on time for returning southbound migrants.
The very late lingering Tricolored Heron continues today at the San Diego River mouth, and as of late when near low tide it seems to prefer being right up next to the Sunset Cliffs Boulevard bridge.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] PLNU Scarlet Tanager |
Just after 8:00 a.m. on Monday, Tom Simpson and Steve Lister found a male Scarlet Tanager just inside and to the right of the main entrance for Point Loma Nazarene University. At about 10:00 a.m. I was able to refind the bird with them in the same area. So, go to the right at the main campus entrance station and check that whole area there in the pines and ficus and sycamores. When they had the bird just after 8:00, they said it was singing a little bit, but we've heard it say nothing. It's actually fairly sneaky, so thank goodness it's brilliant red and black, But it can still hide fairly easily.
Still one pewee in the Catalina Cherry. A 1-year-old common Tern down at Emory Cove on South San Diego Bay.

So the vireo is working all 4 corners of the area (I guess Fleet and Armsda intersect in 2 spots- this is the northern one). We were able to view it from public sidewalks and not enter any of the parking lots.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Tennessee Warbler at PLNU |
Thursday morning the 12th, there's a sometimes-singing Tennessee Warbler in the infamous Catalina Cherry tree at Point Loma Nazarene University. Earlier in the morning there were still nine Western Wood-Pewees out at the cemetery.

Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Jacumba Harris's Hawk nestling (RIP) |
A visit to Jacumba on 11 June produced 7 adult Harris's Hawks, tying the recent high count. We also found a dead nestling lying on the ground under this year's known nest tree. It had been dead for a few days. Don't know if there is still another, extant, live youngster or not, as it is impossible to see up into the nest. This is approximately the fifth year with nesting Harris's Hawks at Jacumba since 2011. The only late landbird migrant we had was a single Western Tanager. Unseasonal--for the site--were a Black-crowned Night Heron and Cliff Swallow, given that neither species nests in that area.
