Was at the Cove 6:45-8:45. Absolutely calm ocean and crisp Santa Ana light. There were BVSHs everywhere inshore, streaming past at the rate of about 3/second for an hour. I could see thousands more rafting on the water. And swarms on the horizon, too far out to count. At about 7:45, they all headed 2 miles offshore and formed a gigantic swirl. At one point, a dense flock came streaming in from the north, out of the canyon, heading towards the feeding frenzy. 2000+ in about 2 minutes. I’m concluding that there were 10K minimum, but could have been many more. With so much movement, it is hard to know how many birds I would have been double-counting. Otherwise, a steady trickle of phalaropes south. Nothing else of interest. Stan Walens San Diego Sep 26, 9:00 a.m.

The Sunday Buena Vista Audubon and Grande pelagic went off in nice weather, and reasonable seas. Birding was a little slow with a few minor and ONE MAJOR exception. As reported earlier via Nancy Christensen, and thanks to the great spotting by Gary Nunn, and an assist by Oscar, who was skippering the boat, at the time, on the chase down that got us very nice looks at a nearly adult NAZCA BOOBY. This in San Diego waters about 26.44 nautical miles west of Bird Rock in La Jolla, on the Thirty Mile Bank and about 1 to 1.5 n.miles inside the county. Lots of photos were taken and some will be posted to the www.sandiegopelagics. com. trip reports for this date. This will be the second or third record for the county, and the first seen by birders, as the others were photos from a whale watching boat, and a deceased bird (Oceanside unconfirmed to species?). I say near adult, as some sub-adult brown feathers were scattered about the otherwise white lesser and median wing coverts and in some of the lower back feathers. The rest of the body was entirely white. Primaries, secondaries, and tertials, and the greater coverts, and the tail were all dark. The prominent facial mask around the eyes and base of the bill was dark. The bill color was a bright orangey with a few pink tones. the bird was seen as close as 75-100 yards and then on out to the limits of optics vision. Really nice find! The bird was originally seen riding the air pressure wave ahead of a very large tanker ship. Not sure if that was for ease of travel or for opportunistic feeding (much as Red-footed Boobies do with ship startled flying fish), or both. Fortunately for us it abandon that behavior and come out towards us to plunge dive a few times. Last we saw the bird it was headed back toward the ship and we heard that ship contact the Long Beach Harbor pilot. Knows it might be re-found up that way? some of the bird species seen Sunday; Cinnamon Teal 7 Pink-footed Shearwater 35 Sooty Shearwater 3 Black-vented Shearwater 600 Leach's Storm-Petrel 1-2 Ashy Storm-Petrel 5 Black Storm-Petrel 200 NAZCA BOOBY 1 Brown Booby 2 Brown Pelican 2 Red-necked Phalarope 75 Pomarine Jaeger 2 Parasitic Jaeger 2 jaeger sp. 1 small alcid sp. 2 (possible scmu ?)

I travelled down on Sunday the 24th, from LA/Orange in hope of seeing the Kentucky Warbler. No luck (at least as of 930 AM) but the Black Throated Green Warbler was present. It was seen by a group of birders high in a Euc by the Parking Structure around 815 AM. After most left i returned around 915 AM and found it in the lower branches. The photos can be found here https://www.flickr.com/photos/25876581@N00/ It appears to be somewhat less marked than the bird photographed on the 23rd. However, that could just be the lighting. I went over to FNRC and the local friendly San Diego birders had a Black and White whose photos are also on my Flickr page. They found one or more flycatchers and my two best images are also on Flickr. I hope they help in the ID. Thanks to all. Jim Hecht Hermosa Beach CA

More on the Dickcissels, which unfortunately we were unable to refind after the initial sighting (maybe there is still hope they are around). To recap, at about 9:20 am today, after a slow two hours of birding the west side of the cemetery, I had just entered the east side through the main gate, when I heard multiple Dickcissal flight calls ( brief, electric buzzer-like notes,e.g. “bzzzrt!”) coming from the direction of the central large monument with the podium that faces the entrance, and noted a small group of sparrow-like birds perched and also flying around the monument. Since they had prominent yellow superciliums and pale malars, and striped backs with pale ‘suspenders,’ and the buzzes were coming from them, I knew they were Dickcissels. Also, the short buzz calls were coming from more than one bird, and all seemed to be using the flight call as a contact call, keeping pretty close together, though moving very restlessly around. As I walked closer they took off a short distance to the north, in an area amid the gravestones between the entrance and the Bennington Monument, buzzing and moving restlessly among (and perching on) the stones, and alighting on the grass. I played the flight call to see if they would come nearer, and indeed they did, flying all at once toward me and over my head, but continuing on, heading south toward the Eucalyptus Grove, then disappearing from my view. I quickly posted on the GroupMe Rare Bird Alert, and then on the sandiegoregionbirding listserve, and then headed south to refind them. I searched with others until about noon, but did not see or hear them again.

Well, while the whole group was between the north end of the culvert and the pepper tree's where the Kentucky Warbler was seen yesterday, Ryan broke away and ventured north. Although he did ruin the peace and quiet when he yelled, "I got it!!!!!!!", I was happy he did so as were the other 10 to 15 birders in the area. Ryan is already a much better birder than me and I can see him being one of the elite birders in the county if he stay's with us. By the way, I want to announce publicly that after someone said they owed him a beer when he turns 21, (withholding the name just in case), I said I will buy him two. Yes, you can all hold me to that now, I owe him two beers roughly 3 years from now. Great Job Ryan, keep up the great work.

Birded at various spots in the Tijuana River Valley Saturday morning and the highlight was an American Bittern at Dairy Mart Ponds at 8 AM. The specific location is the west side of the pond immediately south of the main pond. The bird was visible from the trails surrounding the pond. Bittern was a rich brown color, with a long neck, tapered bill, black malar stripe, blackish flight feathers when it stretched, and greenish-yellow legs. Although the bittern was out in the open, it maintained a pose with its bill pointed upward. Later in the morning I walked along the beach to the mouth of the Tijuana River. On the way back, I saw a Jaeger flying south to north about 200 yards offshore. Unfortunately, I could not see enough details to identify the species. Jeremiah Stock Santee, CA <jscls...>

Was at the Cove with Bob Miller and Doug Galasko this morning. We were all trying out various Swarovski scopes. Winds from the SE, pretty strong. Beautiful bright light, welcome after days of overcast. Lots of black-venteds and as the morning progressed increasing numbers of phalaropes. At around 7:50 I spotted an adult Masked Booby heading south just outside the kelp bed, so 1/3 mile offshore. We were all able to see it well for about 2 minutes and had the time to note all the relevant field marks, including its bright yellow bill. [of course, our detailed individual observations are being written up to be submitted to CBRC] It was hugging the coastline, and should have been visible from shore further south. Less than 10 minutes later I got 15 seconds of a look at an albatross on the horizon, doing some spectacular dynamic flight. Doug and Bob couldn’t get onto it. All I can say is that it was an albatross and black and white. Otherwise, with the wind from onshore, it was pretty dull. Stan Walens San Diego

I was there this morning (21 SEP 2017, 0620-0640) and did NOT see the Kentucky Warbler at the stakeout spot (PLNU at the east fence line 100 yards north of the Garden gate). I watched a big raccoon creep into the culvert to bed down. It looked at me grumpy-like as though to say, "another birder (sigh), so much for my peace and quiet, no rest for the weary...." Another birder passed me at about 0635 and kept going. Please post, if it shows up later. A county bird for me. Charles Torrey Hills Sent from my iPhone

There was nothing even remotely of interest. Then headed to "The Fort" arriving at 9:30. I immediately had a Zone-tailed Hawk on a thermal. On the west side along the fence side just below the building with its flag at half staff I had a Green-tailed Towhee and a Blue-headed Vireo. It was in fresh plumage and was strikingly white below with almost lemon yellow flanks, its chin was strongly demarcated from its blue-gray head. The bright white spectacles also contrasted strongly with its blue-gray head. It also had two quite distinct yellowish-white wing bars. The back was more greenish than gray, so I suspect it belongs to the British Columbia subspecies "solitarius." Also at the Carrillo tide pools I had 5 Black Oystercatchers. Tom "Mt.

I posted a series of photos of the KENTUCKY WARBLER in my eBird checklist here http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39304675 The bird was seen about 100 yards north of the entrance into Point Loma Nazarene University which is accessed by pushing a green door to the right of the large gate at west terminus of Garden Lane. Walk north along the east fence line staying on a footpath which ventures no more than 5-10 yards from the fence line, and is much of the time exactly just inside the fence line. If you are walking in a small concrete water culvert then it was seen in bushes over the north end drain of that culvert.

Keith and I went to Shelter Island (on Point Loma) this morning, Sept. 17, to look for the Black Tern reported by Storm Jensen on eBird Sept. 11 and 16. We spotted it very quickly, around 9AM, flying low over the water, back and forth in the area between the fishing pier and the boat launch ramp (now a construction site). Clearly a small, dark gray tern with wings shorter and more compact than the nearby Forster's. The face and neck were mostly white, and the underside was light. I could not see enough detail to distinguish juvenile from nonbreeding adult, though Keith, whose eyes are better than mine, said the dark patch along the side, visible when the wing is up, was very dark. The bird did not dive; it seemed to pick a little from the surface of the water as it flew, but most of the time it was just flying. We watched it for about a half-hour, then saw it again briefly at about 10:15. (We also met Storm, who walks on Shelter Island regularly.) ====================== Sara Baase Mayers Point Loma (San Diego) <sarabirding...> ======================

SDFO Event – September 19, 2017 at 6:00 pm is the next meeting of San Diego Field Ornithologists. Program: Program: Justyn Stahl will present “Colombia: Jewels of the Andes and More.” With over 1,900 bird species recorded, Colombia is the most biodiverse country in the world. A seemingly endless variety of habitats hosted by three branches of the Andes, inter-Andean valleys, the Amazon, the Caribbean, the Pacific Chocó, and the Santa Marta mountains (home to 36 endemics alone) combine to create dramatic landscapes that host an incredibly diverse array of bird families, including antbirds, tanagers, and nearly 150 species of hummingbirds. Following a recent ceasefire in a guerrilla war that began in the 1960s, Colombia has become an increasingly popular bird watching destination. Areas that were long off-limits are now reopening to tourists and researchers, which means new species are being discovered, lost species are being refound, and species unknown to occur in the outskirts of Colombia are being added to the ever-growing country list each year. Justyn Stahl has made four trips to Colombia since 2012. In addition to sharing photos of memorable birds and scenery, Justyn will also provide some background information on Colombian politics and conservation. For nearly 10 years, Justyn has been involved with the recovery effort of the San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike, an endangered island endemic, as a Project Manager at the Institute for Wildlife Studies. Working year round on San Clemente Island also affords time to catch migration in Los Angeles County, which has yielded some spectacular finds over the years, including California’s first Bluethroat and L.A.’s first Smith’s Longspur. His time off (aside from an annual international trip) is typically spent in San Diego, where he serves as Vice President/Program Chair for SDFO and a frequent leader on the San Diego pelagic trips. He embarrassingly still needs Gambel’s Quail for San Diego County. PLEASE NOTE: The October meeting will be held on MONDAY October 16 due to scheduling conflicts.

I spent a couple hours at the Cove today, from 11-1 and from 4:30-5:30, trying out a Swarovski 95mm scope I’ve been loaned, an amazing piece of equipment. This morning there were about 50 fishing boats of various sizes south of the art museum, which is where I positioned myself. The sea surface was calm and the light clear. Almost the first birds I saw was a southbound flock of 24 common terns, all of them adults. Common tern was the common tern of the morning. [Okay grammarians, you try to rectify the verb agreement between the plural “birds” and the singular “flock.”] 3 common loons—the common loon of the day—all in alternate plumage, flew by a few minutes later. They were followed by an adult female brown booby. There was a feeding frenzy of shearwaters about a mile offshore. About 300–400 back-vented shearwaters, 3–4 pink-footed shearwaters, 1 sooty shearwater. 2 Buller’s shearwaters streamed by abut 1/2 mile offshore. 5 Cassin’s auklets. About 250 phalaropes in a steady rivulet south; all the ones I could see well were red-necked. 2 least storm-petrels were the only storm-petrels of the morning. A single adult California gull and a single adult Sabine’s gull were the only non-Western/non-Heermann’s gulls. 3 parasitic jaegers, all light-morph adults. Went back this afternoon, again near the museum; most of the boats were gone, and so were the birds. Glare made it impossible to see anything more than a mile offshore. So near shore: 1 adult parasitic jaeger. 4 black-vented and 2 pink-footed shearwaters. Trickles of phalaropes.

The head appeared slightly paler than the body, so I’m going for subadult or adult.

Today (Sept 14) I visited the settling ponds in Borrego Springs where I encountered the LeConte's Thrashers again. This is my 4th visit there this summer, and my 4th viewing of the thrashers. During the previous 3 visits I located the birds by hearing them call, then going that direction. On those three visits the birds I saw were east of the elevated dike/road which is east of the ponds. Today I stumbled over thrashers near my car, SOUTH of the ponds. Today 2 thrashers were foraging together, never separated by more than 15 feet. I had them in view for about 15 minutes, and when I left they were still running around on the ground. It was very windy, so sound was not a good clue, though I did hear the birds call when the wind stopped for a bit. I was tempted to go look around east of the dike/road to see if I could find other thrashers there. I admit to being curious about this being different sets of birds. The birds to the east have been widely separated (1/4 mile or more); have been located when the birds perched up and called continuously for a minute or more, giving me time to scan the bush tops. Bob T's sighting involved 2 birds in the same brush, also very near the settling ponds. The behaviors are different enough to make me curious. By the way, thrashers were not my target birds, but I was happy to see them. I'm trying to check various spots on a weekly basis and the settling ponds are one of my stops. No exciting migrants found today. If you are planning to find these birds, listen to the calls before you go: http://www.xeno-canto.org/explore?query=Le+Conte%27s+thrasher Checklist from the settling ponds today: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S39175916 Nancy Christensen Ramona

Hi Bob, by now you probably know I wasn't really questioning your sightings or Bob's..just slipped my mind and of course remembered these reportd when brought to my attention. Maybe I erased them from my brain because at the time I groaned a bit because it now complicates the thrasher sightings here and if this part of the Mesquite Bosque or sink is becoming Le Conte habitat, that means it also complicates 'Sage type' Sparrow sightings as well!

The first one was being mobbed by crows at Saturn and Coronado, we couldn't park fast enough for a pic. The other one was at the west end of Sunset, about 30 min later. Becky Turley Long Beach

While I sat quietly with binns on my gazebo this afternoon, an adult male Black-and-White Warbler treated me to a nearly half-hour show as it picked worms off the trunk and lower branches of our Chinese Elm tree. It seemed unaware of me and was only 10-20' away most of the time. A bright, sharp bird with no hint of yellow wash, it crept along over and under branches, giving me views of details from every angle (heavy black streaking on sides, black cheek, white eye ring, a small spot of black on the otherwise white throat, black markings on undertail coverts, white undertail edged with black, black and white stripes on top of head, etc.). What a delight! A Pacific-slope Flycatcher was under the tree the whole time also. ====================== Sara Baase Mayers Point Loma (San Diego) <sarabirding...> ======================

Wildlife trackers piece together clues left behind in the environment to gain a richer picture of the variety of animals using a habitat and read the story of their behavior. We’ll evaluate tracks and signs to determine who’s been there and what they’ve been doing. This course will include an evening in-class session, paired with a morning field day practicing our skills out on the trail at Border Field State Park. At the workshop, you’ll become familiar with common local wildlife species, learn basic track and sign identification, avoid the pitfalls of perception, learn how to distinguish between mountain lion and domestic dog tracks (which are confused more often than not), and more. This class will be taught by SDAS Education Associate/Volunteer Manager, Jill Cooper. Jill is a trained biologist who has been tracking wildlife for more than ten years. Psst! Spread the word!

Hey everybody, There seems to be a bit of lag on emails occasionally with Yahoo (the hosting company for SDRB). I noticed this issue with emails I was sending last week, in addition to a glut of emails that just came through late last night/this morning. For that reason, it is helpful (I'd argue necessary) to include the DATE in your email. If you report a rare bird and say "today" or "this morning" and it gets hung up for a few days or worse, people are going to get word of it well after the fact and assume you actually mean the day the email was received. Also, it's common courtesy to sign your emails with a full name. Best, Justyn Stahl San Clemente Island

Sorry, I didn't realize there was more than one community garden... Painted Bunting: I observed the bird as I walked into the Tijuana River Valley community gardens (Hollister Ave/Sunset Ave, San Diego) this morning (0645 hours/09-12-17) through the south entrance from Hollister Ave. The bird was on the south fence of site #49 forging for about 5 minutes before it took of south across the field. I stayed for another hour and did not seen the bird in the garden.

We had a LeConte's Thrasher during the birding festival on 3/4/2016. Seen at Old Springs Open Space Reserve near Borrego Springs. My notes say "We waited almost an hour near a nest before it came out of cover. Running fast on the ground with tail up, very cute." I realize "cute" is not a diagnostic mark, but life lists are for fun anyway, right? I've forgotten who the leader was, but the markings and behavior were correct, and the leader was a well-respected desert expert. The birding festival list indicates it was not seen in 2017 at the festival.

I watched the front and back yard all eve, but nothing. There is a nice Bottle brush in my neighbors yard but nothing unusual that I can see. Headed to bed for the night as I need to open tomorrow at around 4:30 am but again, if anyone wants to sit in front of the house, write me offline and I'll send you the address in e-mail in the morning, well before sunset. As mentioned in my earlier e-mail, I got a pretty vague description of a Hummer that most sounded like a Broad-billed to me but all I have seen is Allen's, Ann's and 1 female Black-chinned. This lady isn't a birder and could not give me any of the "finer" details of the bird. Mark Stratton North Park

Second attempt... > > At around 1:20 this afternoon (Sep 4th) we had amazing views of both the male and female Frigatebirds from the southwest end of Shelter Island. The pair soared the length of Point Loma twice while we watched them. When we left, two other birders were still watching them. > > We then continued on to the TRV community gardens. The continuing female type Painted Bunting is still present and hanging around roughly the same area. > We found it at around 2:30pm. The bird flew from roughly the center of gardens and landed somewhere in the willows between the community gardens and butterfly gardens. It did not re-emerge while we were there, but we heard it's chip note call later. > > --Trysten Loefke > Valley Center

I was out walking the dog this evening and a neighbor said they were by our yard today and they saw a beautiful Hummingbird today. Blue throat, blue and green on the front, and green on the back, is how it was described to me. I have not seen it myself, but will keep an eye out. If anyone wants to watch our front yard tomorrow, write me and I'll shoot you the address. I will keep watching this evening and will post again if I actually see it. I do not have any other details to share, they are not actual birders. She said that there was a lot of "Blue" on it. Even though we have two feeders out front, the bird came to an Iochroma by the front path. Mark Stratton North Park

With respect, location, time, and date are helpful. For those that are just tuning in, they may not know which community garden. Was this yesterday, or today? Was it earlier or just now and the bird is still present? (This is called "the curse of knowledge," and like everyone else, I make this mistake. But it's happened a few times recently on this list serve and if nobody else will point it out, I'll but in and do it, no offense. It happens, for example, when people act on buried email strings, or when they get info from a non-general group network and act on it, and then post follow-up to this list serve and inadvertently leave out details that only the original select number of folks had access to and would of course know. For those just tuning in, or those that don't have access to other networks, time, date, location are important.) I am trying to do better myself and emulate postings by the likes of Gary and Paul (if I may drop a couple names). They are prime examples and good go-bys. Thanks for posting though.

I spent the morning (Sep. 11th) scanning for the for the apparently continuing Red-footed Booby at the Tijuana River mouth today with out any luck. A thick marine layer kept most birds obscured until later in the morning and seemed to suppress most bird activity, except for the Elegant/Royal Terns. Finally at around 10:00am I located two Brown Boobies, at least one of which was a juvenile, at least a mile out in the horizon. Unfortunately, they were not joined by the Red-footed, and they eventually disappeared as the marine layer pushed back in. No other Sulids were seen during the several hours I was there. No late Least Terns were seen either, and the Pacific Golden Plover is on the south side of the river mouth today. One "Thick-billed" Sparrow was foraging at the high tide line. --Trysten Loefke Valley Center

I will not have a rental car and am staying in the Kearney Mesa area. I have looked into a half-day guided trip but all guides seem to require you to have a rental car. I know that isn't nearly enough time to scratch the great area birding. It would be nice to see a few endemics or interesting shorebirds. Thank you for the recommendations.

The adult white morph Red-footed Booby put in an appearance close to shore off the south end of Border Field State Park from 9:51 to 10:02. It was circling a flock of Western Gulls sitting in the water beyond the breakers when I first laid eyes on it. It dove once, circled a few more times, and eventually headed straight out west. The eBird list will be updated with complete notes and more photos tomorrow. The adult male Broad-tailed Hummingbird in Encinitas put in a brief appearance at dusk (18:59) to the front yard feeders (too quick and too dark for any decent photos). Morning still seems to be the best time to see this bird and get nice photos. Also of interest at the Encinitas spot was an adult male Anna's x Costa's Hummingbird. Shape-wise it looked like a Costa's with long gorget extensions and a short tail (complete with typical Costa's tail-wagging motion when hovering). The iridescence on the gorget extensions looked more violet while the iridescence on parts of the head looked more like the typical rose color of an Anna's. Glancing at my photos some adjacent feathers on the head and throat show a patchy distribution of different colored iridescence. The apparent color of iridescence is of course highly depend on angle and lighting so is not that reliable. The clincher was the fact that the bird sang the complex Anna's song (noticeably sloppy) but also gave a dry twittering chase call typical of Costa's. Ebird list with photos will be entered tomorrow.

I checked around Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in the early AM this weekend both Sep 9 and 10. Overall pretty quiet out there with not much sign of migration. Just a handful of expected species. Saturday Sep 9, 2017 I found 3 MacGillivray's Warbler including a couple in the larger dense umbrella pines on the west side just south of the admin building. A single White-winged Dove flew by heading south out to the point. Sunday Sep 10, 2017 just after dawn I heard a flyover DICKCISSEL heading out to the point. It called a few times, flat sputter call, but I never did see it and was not heard or seen again. Also there were 2 Olive-sided Flycatcher together on the highest tips of dead Torrey Pine south of the west side admin building. Although they were very mobile all around the north area of the west side. A juvenile Phainopepla and a Hutton's Vireo were in the northeast section. -- Gary Nunn Pacific Beach

This afternoon from 12:50 through 2:15, from Border Field State Park I observed at least 7 brown boobies ranging from just south of the border to NW of the rivermouth, and foraging at various distances from just beyond the surf out to the horizon. They ranged back & forth, close & far, but most of that time at least 2 were visible together, with a maximum at one time of 7. Just after 1 pm, a white-bodied Sulid joined two of them briefly but I lost view of it after it landed on the surface of the water to the NW of the horse trail but SW of the rivermouth. It was too distant to clearly discern tail or face/bill details, but with black outer wings & trailing edge of inner wings, white body including head and back and most of inner wings. Larger, longer necked, pointier winged, different color pattern, & more labored flight pattern than adjacent gulls (& much larger & very different flight pattern from adjacent royal terns). A few shearwaters could barely be discerned out on the horizon; likewise with a feeding frenzy around a fishing boat that seemed to be drawing the attention of the boobies when I left. At least 1 large-billed sparrow was foraging among kelp wrack at the rivermouth. An adult least tern with 2 fledglings (none banded) landed briefly S of the horse trail & were foraging in the surf. Earlier, 2 Baird's sandpipers & 1 semipalmated sandpiper were seen briefly within interior ponds in closed portions of the South SD Bay saltworks, but were not re-found later. Depending on their movements, they may be scope-able from the bikepath off 13th, 8th, or 7th St at some point. Robert Patton San Diego, CA

At a little after 10am, while standing a few hundred meters north of the border fence scoping the water, Juli had a sulid flying about 100 meters from shore move directly into her scope view. She got me on it immediately and we could see it had a white head with just a hint of buffy color, completely white body, tail, and upperwing coverts, black primaries and secondaries, a noticeably bluish-gray bill, and no black on the face at all. The bird flew with its wings in a swept-back position, and Juli was even able to observe a black oval-shaped patch on the outer portion of the underwing coverts. This combination of field marks led us to a positive ID of RED-FOOTED BOOBY, eliminating all other expected (and unexpected) sulid species. > > We watched the bird for several minutes as it gradually flew northward and further out in the ocean toward Point Loma. Unfortunately, we were unable to get any photos, as we were too busy observing it and gathering field marks through our scope and binoculars.

This morning for a couple of hours, I birded along Silvergate Ave and adjacent streets in the Point LOma neighborhood. The most interesting bird I had was one I heard but never saw, and hope others will be on the look out ( or listen out) in the area if they plan to bird there this weekend. I heard what sounded like Grey Catbird mewings and also a couple of chwut calls, from the yard behind the tall cream-colored fence along the west side of Silvergate , near where it intersects the alleyway that is between Pio Pico and Dupont. I could not get a visual to confirm, and it soon stopped calling after a Red-shouldered Hawk flew by and freaked all the birds out. It is also possible that it could be a Green-tailed Towhee mewing, since this house has feeders set up in the yard, but the mews seemed to ascend at the beginning of the call, not near the end. A couple of semi-out of place birds were a male Costa's Hummingbird and a White-winged Dove. List of birds is as follows.

I took a later afternoon/early evening seawatch from La Jolla hoping to come across a fancy shearwater or something. Well while scoping two Black-vented Shearwater passing south I caught sight of a tiny all dark storm-petrel in the close foregorund of my scope view! Thank goodness for these wide-angle eye-pieces! Just perfect looks at a LEAST STORM-PETREL working its way south between inner and outer kelp beds. A tapered shaved off looking rear end and nugget like head, strong on the wing just darting along the surface. Occasional switchbacks to investigate items on the water surface. It seemed to be in two modes, darting around over one spot or powerful fast lengths before the next switchback stop. The small size and closeness to the water surface made it pop up and down in view as it moved forward south over the disorganized wind waves. The wings, and on-off fast bat like flapping, actually looked like a tiny sped up Black Storm-Petrel from the view, but the almost neckless head and shaved off looking rear end not like that species at all. A few jaegers passed south, two Parasitic close, a Pomarine middle distance, with nice spoons showing, and one small jaeger reasonably close but silhouetted never going below the horizon. Again I suspect this might have been a Long-tailed, smaller sized, fine wings, bouncing body in flight. Impossible to see any primary shaft coloration in the light conditions however. Early morning is the best option for proof-of-life photos of this species in La Jolla, with the sun behind you, and you are lucky enough to get one pass close for photography. There were some shearwaters, I counted about 50 Black-vented, 1 Pink-footed, and 4 Sooty. All on a fast clip southward. -- Gary Nunn you can find me on twitter, @garybnunn

Jane Mygatt and I did 2 Hornblower whale-watching trips this weekend, the end of their season. We covered a total of nearly 100 miles on the 2 trips! Mile after mile was birdless. We got 14-16 miles offshore, and mostly to the NW of the tip of Pt. Loma. Saturday we got 10-12 miles west of La Jolla. To my chagrin, one of our companions spotted 2 thresher sharks—a species I have been looking for for almost 35 years now and not seen—that disappeared before I could get to the rail to see them. Sue Smith: where are you when I need you? [FYI: esteemed local birder, Sue Smith, is a world expert on thresher sharks, but that hasn’t done me any good.] On 9/2 we came across one large flock of black-vented shearwaters with about 350 birds in it. about 25 seen elsewhere on the trip. 4 pink-footed shearwaters and 1 sooty. 5 black storm-petrels and 1 ashy. 1 Cassin’s auklet; 1 common tern. 10 red phalaropes. 1 brown booby, 1st-cycle. 1 parasitic jaeger Today, we saw a flock of about 200 black-vented shearwaters. no more than a half-dozen elsewhere. 1 sooty, 3 pink-foots. no alcids. 4 commic terns. no boobies. no storm-petrels; no phalaropes. but the water surface was completely tessellated and the light leaden gray. not great conditions. 3 jaegers: 2 poms and 1 parasitic We were just about to leave the dock at 9:00, and I was checking my emails one last time before setting my phone to airplane mode for the next 4 hours, and I was in the process of telling Jane that this was perfect weather to watch for frigatebirds in, when Gary’s post on the frigatebird at the bait docks came in. We immediately found 2 birds circling over the Seaport Village area. I dictated a post about them, and between my heavy Philadelphia accent, the fact that I’d had a pre-trip pitcher of strawberry margaritas and the limits of my dictation program [you should see how many different phrases the program changed “frigatebird” into] I posted that we had seen 2 freaking birds. Sorry; didn’t catch that AI mistranslation. On the way back into the harbor, we saw 3 frigatebirds soaring over Ft. Rosecrans; one was not as high as the 2 others and may not have been visible from the cemetery. At that time, the female Gary had first spotted was no longer on the mast on the bait dock. We had the male, the female, and a bird with a slightly whiter head. I don’t know if one of those was the bird Chris Adler had seen come into the harbor on the fishing boat, or if there were 4 frigatebirds total in the harbor today. Stan Walens San Diego

Two frigatebird in view at 5:15 from west end of Shelter Island. One with white on breast, maybe on head, seen only briefly and may be at the bait barge. The male with the missing primaries on his left wing has been circling all over the end of the bay, quite high. Nancy Christensen Ramona A bird does not sing because it has an answer.

Stan: I saw them from Shelter Island up there about that time (1240), circling over for Rosecrans, so I jumped in the car to run up to get a closer look. Everyone was poking along and it was about a 20 min drive! When I got there they'd moved back down over the bay to the east. I left FRNC at 1:50 and a juvenile was circling very high above the bay in front of Shelter Island.

Following up on my What'sApp post, I tried to see the Frigatebird from Shelter Island with binoculars but couldn't make it out. However, at 11am the large trawler Rival passed by the bait docks with tons of birds around it, and sure enough there was a Frigatebird perched on a wire on the boat. I have some terrible distant photos. Its back was toward me so it just appeared all dark, but the shape and bill were distinctive. It rode the boat as it headed into the bay, rounding North Island. In other news in Imperial Beach this am: the Baird's Sandpiper continues at Surf Camp. On the beach south from Seacoast Dr. two Brown Boobies were plunge-diving close to shore. And there was a Large-billed Savannah Sparrow on the beach.

At 11:50 viewing from FRNC , saw the female MAFR circling over bait barges 100-200' up, then it drifted east over the new ? Old ? Dolphin pens where it was joined by a male MAFR , then both circled and drifted/vanished by noon.

I seawatched from La Jolla about four hours this morning, starting at 7am, and later another four hours starting at 2pm. I already posted about the two FRIGATEBIRD SP. seen at 7:05am from Pt. La Jolla, these were a good distance away north, greater than 2 miles I would say, and drifted northeast across the distant power station before being lost to sight. Could not discern any fieldmarks. Not seen again and I left at 11am. Couple of Surfbirds heading south were the first I have seen locally this fall. In the afternoon I had a series of small jaegers, about 10 in all, moving south many in doubles. Distance and bright silhouetted birds made it hard to ID but I think at least two may have been Long-tailed Jaegers. None really looked all that large to me. Joined by Jim Pawlicki about 3:25pm and we saw six BLACK TERN moving northward in a single group about 4:30pm, then a single SABINE'S GULL, picked out by Jim, at 5pm. I took off just before 6pm and Jim remained and then (!) had a juvenile MAGNIFICENT FRIGATEBIRD fly right by him at Cuvier Park, just south of the Children's Pool, at 6:45pm. Jim got a nice photo! -- Gary Nunn you can find me on twitter, @garybnunn

Joni Ciarletta, Patti Kroger and I saw a Cassin's Vireo today (looked to be First Basic) near the San Dieguito River mouth railroad bridge, on the edge of a private yard with feeders, on the west side of the railroad tracks (east end of 27th St or thereabouts), west of the Del Mar Public Works building. While Unitt (1995) says migration does start in early September, it is still kind of unusual to see one this early right near the coast. Susan Smith Seiurus Biological Consulting Del Mar, CA

Went to the Cove Monday morning. So different from when Jane and I had been there several days earlier. No more than 15 boats. Bird numbers had plummeted. Instead of 3000-4000 black-vented shearwaters, only about 300. 5 pink-footed shearwaters. About 100 phalaropes, none close enough to identify to species. 3 Cassin’s auklets were the only alcids. Still have not seen a jaeger from shore this season. Got to the Cove today at 7:30 because I thought today, with its overcast, would be good for frigatebirds. Arrived at the Cove to find it totally fogged in. Visibility less than 30’. Apparently, any frigatebirds snuck past in the fog to get to Orange County. Fog finally cleared around 2:30. [No, I didn’t sit there the whole time; I went home and checked the La Jolla Cove Hotel webcam every 30 minutes until it looked like I might be able to see the ocean from shore]. webcam every 30 minutes till it looked like there was some visibility] Bird numbers even lower than Monday. Only 13 flying and about 30 rafting black-vented shearwaters. 1 pink-footed shearwater. 2 Cassin’s auklets About 40 phalarope sp. 2 fly-by black oystercatchers Best 2 birds of the day were 1 booby, first-cycle. Dark head, light underwings, but too far out to see details. Sunlight so harsh, impossible to tell if there was any white in the dorsum. It could have been brown [2nd-cycle], blue-footed, masked. This is the first booby of any species I’ve seen at the Cove since June 26. And then 5 minutes later, it was followed by an alternate-plumaged pigeon guillemot. No frigatebirds. They must have snuck back south in the fog. A comment on Dave Povey’s report of a possible Manx shearwater. It would not be the first county fall record, only potentially the first photographed record. In 2014, a Manx shearwater was in the flock of black-venteds from early June through at least August 26; on August 3, it was seen well by me and Justin Bosler. On August 26, the bird was less than 100 yards from shore, roosting on the water, then flying about. On September 12, 2016, 5 or 6 of us on a trip to the Los Coronados Islands saw a Manx shearwater in American waters. I don’t know if the bird was photographed. The redoubtable Keerthana and Kiran were on that trip and photographing everything. They may have photos of that bird. Stan Walens Befogged in San Diego

Curtis Marantz, Gary Nunn, Matt Sadowski and I did a pelagic scouting trip out of Mission Bay Monday. Conditions were crummy, with a steep wind wave on a short interval, and enough wind to make some directions of travel wet. The best bird of the day, has to go down as the one that escaped. Very likely a Manx Shearwater north bound in the mid San Diego Trough area west of La Jolla. All of us had the reaction that it was too white faced and undersides, to be a Black-vented Shearwater. The bird had a different flight style more wheeling and soaring than the many Black-vents we'd seen in shore that morning in the same wind conditions. We did get some photos but nothing to hang our hat on. Too bad it would be our first county fall record. Interestingly there are a number of fall records for Manx Shearwater on Monterrey pelagics. Good numbers of Pink-footed Shearwaters (90), one Sooty Shearwater for the day, and a fair number Black-vented Shearwaters (75), all inshore where we did not tarry. Two other birds did not escape. First a TOWNSEND'S STORM-PETREL mid S.D. Trough. Matt got some nice photos to post to eBIRDS, and a well seen, and cooperative WILSON'S STORM-PETREL with a tiny Black Storm-Petrel Raft on the 30 Mile Bank. This bird about a mile and a half inside the county line. The end of Aug. early Sept. seems to be prime time for this species here. Black Storm-Petrel (115) remain in low numbers locally, Ashy Storm-Petrels (12) numbers are down, Leach's Storm-Petrel (16) numbers remain good in the San Diego Trough. I presume all Leach's were Chapmani, with varying degrees of white on their rumps. Other than the odd raft of twenty or so, the big raft(s) of recent years still eludes us. A flock of twenty odd Marbled Godwits were seen moving north (?) Phalarope numbers are up with 120 Red Phalaropes, 50 or more Red-necked Phalaropes, and another 40 or so un I.d. to species. A young LONG-TAILED JAEGER was seen attempting to attacking storm-petrels back out over the San Diego Trough. That the only jaeger today. Alcid viewing was tough today so no surprise we counted only 17 Cassin's Auklets, with 3 more small alcid sp. We had several newly arrived California Gull ( 4 ) Common Tern were seen in a couple of groups number somewhere close to 50 for the day. As a side note we had a small Loggerhead Turtle on the Thirty Mile Bank. This guy about the size of dinner plate. That's the third Loggerhead Turtle I've seen this summer. Dave Povey Dulzura p.s.

The juvenile a/o female Painted Bunting at the TJRV Community Garden was seen very briefly this morning at around 8:30. It initially flew in low showing a unicolor greenish topside with no trace of any white feathering at all. It seemed to be enjoying the company of Lesser Goldfinches, of which there many around; it was definitely LEGO land (sorry, I couldn’t resist that). A later view conformed a bunting-type bill and no sign of any white on the underside. Unfortunately I was by myself when it flew in; after Eric and others converged on the site it didn’t feel like showing itself again, at least while I was there. The exact spot where I saw it was in bushes along the dirt road on the west side of the cultivated plots, approximately on the other (west) side of the dirt road from plot #122.

A morning trip today (Aug 28th) to the YMCA Camp Surf area did not produced the continuing Baird's Sandpiper. The area between the two jetties and a substantial distance north of the second jetty was searched without any luck. No small shorebirds to the south of or between the two jetties. All activity was to the north of the second jetty with quite a few peeps up there. For any birders going looking for this bird BEWARE of confusion with muddy-legged Least Sandpipers. There has been a significant influx of Least Sandpipers and several of them had dirty legs. **Also beware of one Least that is showing dark olive pigmented legs.

We walked up Imperial Beach this morning about 11 and found one Baird's foraging at water's edge just north of the second jetty, at YMCA Camp Surf. After about ten minutes, it flew, and we didn't see it when we came back about 40 minutes later. One bonus bird: Farther up the beach, past all the human activity, we got a Horned Lark in the sand up by the dunes. We headed over the dunes to look through the government fence and think we saw a Western Meadowlark on top of the fence, but it flew before we were sure.
