Subject: [OrangeCountyBirding] Loon at Bolsa Chica |
Not sure if I should post this here, but don’t know who to ask about this bird.
At the walking bridge near the Bolsa Chica Interpretive Center on Warner Ave., I watched a loon swimming. After a few minutes it came to the beach-like area on the west side of the inlet and pulled itself up onto the shore about 7-10 feet and began preening. This seems like odd behavior for a loon. I watched it for about half an hour, and it did not show signs of distress, seemed undisturbed by people walking by, and showed no signs of leaving. Is this normal or should I report this bird to someone?
Thanks,
Bridget Gardner

The Lazuli Buntings reported by Lam-Son Vinh yesterday at Brightwater Trail in HB continued this afternoon.
They were in the same reported position between Tidalview and Kennebunk just off the trail toward the water in the bushes and grass. sometimes sitting on the fence rail eating the seeds off the tall grass reeds growing up next to the fence, or on the trail ground. 5- 10 present.   good viewing condition, other than flocking back and forth along the trail as people walk by.
A Blue Grosbeak also joined in the same general area

I was surprised to encounter a large number of Lazuli Buntings, a conservative estimate of 10 individuals, on the Brightwater trail late
this afternoon. They were on the trail and in the field halfway between Kennebunk and Tidalview.

BIRDING WORKSHOPS AND CLASSES
None upcoming.
****************************************************
The Orange County RBA and events summary is produced weekly by Ryan
Winkleman and Jeff Bray in collaboration with Doug Willick. Sightings of
rare birds can be posted to the OrangeCountyBirding listserv, emailed
directly to Jeff Bray (<jbray3928...>) and/or Ryan Winkleman (
<rswinkleman...>), and/or submitted to eBird (
http://ebird.org/content/ebird). Any supporting details (descriptions,
photos, audio recordings, etc.) of rare sightings that are not already
disclosed on the listserv or on eBird should also be emailed to Ryan
Winkleman separately for consideration to be mentioned in the current
quarterly report for North American Birds.
Those sightings that are included in this summary generally include those
that are considered rare (regionally or seasonally) for Orange County based
on "The Birds of Orange County: Status and Distribution" (Hamilton and
Willick), "Birds of Southern California" (Garrett and Dunn), and/or more
contemporary changes in local or regional status and distribution. Rarities
that regularly or seasonally occur at a particular location, such as
annually wintering rarities on Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, may or
may not be included in this digest, but reports of these same species
occurring at other, atypical locations throughout the county may be
included. We don't include hybrids, subspecies, introduced or exotic birds,
or in most cases and for no real reason, geese. All bird reports are vetted
to the extent possible prior to each publication, but in the interest of
sharing information, the accuracy of any given report cannot always be
guaranteed, nor can the presence of any given bird for those who choose to
chase after them.
Information on upcoming local events is taken largely from the Sea and Sage
Audubon website (http://www.seaandsageaudubon.org/). Sea and Sage Audubon
is based out of the Audubon House at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in
Irvine. They sponsor a number of public field trips, special birding
events, conservation lectures, and social gatherings throughout the year.
Information regarding upcoming local events should be considered accurate
at the time of this posting. However, for the most current information
please refer to the field trip list on the Sea and Sage Audubon website at
https://wp.seaandsageaudubon.org/home-sas/field-trip-2/#FTSchedule. It is
also recommended that you refer to that website immediately prior to
engaging in any field trip to confirm that trips are still occurring. If
you know of additional upcoming events that are not sponsored directly by
Sea and Sage Audubon, please email Ryan Winkleman and/or Jeff Bray for
inclusion. #RBA

Subject: Re: [OrangeCountyBirding] Maple Springs forest gate |
I just got home and was in forest earlier (entering as Cynthia left). I went to the end. I think SX 4 is the deepest (this is the stream crossing right after the big downed-oak parking area) and currently would require high boots unless you like wet feet. Nothing exceptional, and very, very few hummers overall. Not much flowering quite yet and the timing might be too late for Calliope when the flowers do bloom. I have had them at the house anywhere from 10 April to 20th but they have been seen slightly later in the forest. So this likely will not be a place to get them. Plenty of vireos, both Hutton's and warbling, and I did hear either a Cassin's or Plumbeous today but I didn't have time to try to track it down. There seems to be one in the forest every year and I cannot tell the diff in song. Warblers are trickling in. Mostly yellow and orange-crowned, but I don't hear Wilson's well and others have noted their presence though not in good number. Ash-throated are here in small numbers, but no sign of western wood-pewee yet (they nest in the forest). No Costa's hummer (too early). I did not see or hear a hairy woodpecker but did not spend any time looking in likely places either. Saw/heard western flycatchers and I assume there are Hammond's about, but did not take the time to look for any. Black-headed grosbeaks and hooded orioles (and perhaps Bullock's) are present. No sign of Lawrence's goldfinch in any number and any purple finch were silent (I usually hear them, but oft see them as well). I briefly stopped in two places to hear the canyon wren, no go. There is a canyon wren here in the canyon but it is not chasable (on private property). I will keep looking/listening. Last year's bird I located was found in June, but in looking at dates in the forest are found from March to July (that July date is mine as there was a bird singing near SX2 until that time, after the bird at Raven's Roost everyone saw/heard was gone with it's fledglings). So, bottom line, If you come on a Tuesday or Wednesday (the quietest days, with Tuesday being the very most bestest!) you will likely hear the above birds and those on Cynthia's list and increasingly more will show. It's still early. It was gorgeous up there today and this weekend will no doubt be a 4X disaster given the gate has been closed for four months. Road is generally not suitable for lower vehicles, per normal.
For those of you that saw the USFS announcement about the bald eagle nest in the forest, I have known since early Feb and the nest is not in OC. I was told about it and asked to keep it to myself which I did. This is the first time in a very long time that the forest has had a nest there. It is along a roadway, but that roadway has been closed all year and remains so as far as I know. I believe the chicks fledged and are now flying with the adults. Cool beans.

Sorry about that.
Here’s what we found this morning:
The gate is open, but only 3 cars passed us in 2 hours. Very quiet!
Stream crossings 1-3 are slippery with moss and our waterproof hiking boots failed. Rubber boots probably would have been a better choice. Stream crossing 4 seemed too deep to cross without rubber boots, so we turned around there.
It was beautiful and sunny in the canyon.
The coffee at Silverado Market Cafe is really good and you don’t have to worry about spiders in the restroom.😊

The Quail Hill Loop trail is open again now. I just walked it: it is completely clear and not muddy at all.
I had a pair of white-tailed kites circling in the vicinity of the seasonal pond. Not much else to report, as I didn't get my target species (blue grosbeak and grasshopper sparrow), but the kites were groovy enough.

I don't know more than that as I am just heading up there.
Remember, you do NOT need a pass to park just behind the gate on the side of the road. You DO need a pass if you park in the asphalt parking area (it is considered "improved").
Happy birding,

Subject: [OrangeCountyBirding] Quail Hill Loop Trail |
Good afternoon,
On the "LetsGoOutside.org" website today, there is a message (copied below) that indicates the City of Irvine has asked the Irvine Land Conservancy to conduct a trail assessment of the loop trail on Thursday April 18th. It appears the loop trail will be closed for at least several more days, or at least until tomorrow's assessment is completed.
Pete Gordon
Foothill Ranch, CA
"
Due to recent rain, the City of Irvine has asked IRC to assess its seven-day access trail system. The purpose of this is to evaluate trails and report on conditions for public access before the busy holiday week.
This hike is for the Quail Hill Loop only, which is one of the seven-day access trails.
A minimum of one Trail Guide may register. If more register, they should go on the assessment together. (We don’t actually need a certified “Docent/Lead” to sign up to do this; it can be one or more Trail Guides.) Activity time can be determined by the volunteer(s) but must be within the regular “open” hours for the trail system.
All IRC volunteers must be in IRC uniform (with proper landowner [City of Irvine] identification/patch), including your badge(s).
Before leaving your home to report for the activity, fill your water bottle, bring everything you need to be healthy, and conduct a self-assessment.
Please take note of the trail conditions and take photos of any issues, especially those that might impact the public’s access of the trail, such as areas that are impassable or highly saturated. It will be helpful to note the exact location of any photos taken.
As soon as possible after the Assessment Hike, please send an email to 1) Tony Pointer (<tpointer...><mailto:<tpointer...>) AND 2) IRC Activity Operations (<activityoperations...><mailto:<activityoperations...>) with your observations including (but not limited to):
1. Weather during your hike
2. Overall impression of the trail (saturated, wet, impassable, dry, etc.)
3. Any problem spots (fallen branches, etc.)
4. Provide photos and exact location of any problem spots
5. Wildlife sightings
6. Other hikers?
Please also remember that if you find that you are making ½” or deeper footprints on any of the trails, please do not continue! Immediately report that information to Tony Pointer and IRC Activity Operations.

Subject: [OrangeCountyBirding] Hangers on |
Maybe I haven't paid much attention in the past, but it seems to me that White-crowned sparrows would normally be gone by this time of year. My feeders are still full of them. Also I'm still hearing many Cedar Waxwings at Birch Hills Golf Course. Seems like they are typically gone by mid-April.
As an aside...still hearing nuthatches at the golf course.

Birders,
After being AWOL for over an hour, Edana Salisbury refound the YTVI at 12:25. Continues in the Sycamores at the edge of the lake where previously reported. Spontaneously singing and chattering as it slowly advances thru the trees. David Ornellas reported that it appeared to fly east into the private housing during its absence.

Subject: [OrangeCountyBirding] Vaux's Swifts, Irvine, San Diego Creek |
If anyone is looking to pick up some Vaux's Swifts for their Life/Year/County/5MR Lists or just for the joy of it all, during my bike ride this morning, Vaux's Swifts were plentiful along the San Diego Creek in Irvine. In the morning, one group was foraging over the creek outside the Treehill Trail area of the San Joaquin Marsh. On the return portion of the ride, Vaux's Swifts were still in the area of Treehill Trail. A second, rather notably large group (~100 birds) were very active along the bike trail just outside the San Marco Park (Irvine) entrance along the bike trail between Main Street and Alton Parkway at 12:20pm.

Subject: Re: [OrangeCountyBirding] Coal Canyon Parking Area |
Braxton,  I visited Coal Canyon last week for the first time in many years.  I'm pleased to say that none of the cars in my group were broken into.    I am more familiar with the break-in problem at Bolsa Chica.  If the problem at Coal Canyon is similar, then break-ins can occur any day of the week and at any time of day.  At Bolsa, weekdays are slightly worse than weekends and afternoon slightly worse than mornings.  But not by much.  Good luck.  I hope you get the Bell's!

I’ve been told by a few people that the parking lot for coal canyon is sketchy, with frequent car break-ins. Has anyone here experienced this themselves? Would going tomorrow be better as it’s a weekend?
Thanks for any input!

****************************************************
The Orange County RBA and events summary is produced weekly by Ryan
Winkleman and Jeff Bray in collaboration with Doug Willick. Sightings of
rare birds can be posted to the OrangeCountyBirding listserv, emailed
directly to Jeff Bray (<jbray3928...>) and/or Ryan Winkleman (
<rswinkleman...>), and/or submitted to eBird (
http://ebird.org/content/ebird). Any supporting details (descriptions,
photos, audio recordings, etc.) of rare sightings that are not already
disclosed on the listserv or on eBird should also be emailed to Ryan
Winkleman separately for consideration to be mentioned in the current
quarterly report for North American Birds.
Those sightings that are included in this summary generally include those
that are considered rare (regionally or seasonally) for Orange County based
on "The Birds of Orange County: Status and Distribution" (Hamilton and
Willick), "Birds of Southern California" (Garrett and Dunn), and/or more
contemporary changes in local or regional status and distribution. Rarities
that regularly or seasonally occur at a particular location, such as
annually wintering rarities on Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, may or
may not be included in this digest, but reports of these same species
occurring at other, atypical locations throughout the county may be
included. We don't include hybrids, subspecies, introduced or exotic birds,
or in most cases and for no real reason, geese. All bird reports are vetted
to the extent possible prior to each publication, but in the interest of
sharing information, the accuracy of any given report cannot always be
guaranteed, nor can the presence of any given bird for those who choose to
chase after them.
Information on upcoming local events is taken largely from the Sea and Sage
Audubon website (http://www.seaandsageaudubon.org/). Sea and Sage Audubon
is based out of the Audubon House at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in
Irvine. They sponsor a number of public field trips, special birding
events, conservation lectures, and social gatherings throughout the year.
Information regarding upcoming local events should be considered accurate
at the time of this posting. However, for the most current information
please refer to the field trip list on the Sea and Sage Audubon website at
https://wp.seaandsageaudubon.org/home-sas/field-trip-2/#FTSchedule. It is
also recommended that you refer to that website immediately prior to
engaging in any field trip to confirm that trips are still occurring. If
you know of additional upcoming events that are not sponsored directly by
Sea and Sage Audubon, please email Ryan Winkleman and/or Jeff Bray for
inclusion. #RBA

Subject: [OrangeCountyBirding] Gray Flycatcher |
I birded with a very nice birder from Florida today. I helped her find a few lifers along the coast. But, after dipping on some others, we decided to just bird the San Joaquin Marsh. Surprisingly, just after leaving the parking lot, we found a Gray Flycatcher (one of the lifers she was looking for) in the pollinators garden. It was calling quite a bit and was very active.
We also saw three Bonaparte’s Gulls in Pond 1, two of which were in breeding plumage. All-in-all a good day!!

Good morning,
I was trying to add a banded TUVU to the BBL website yesterday and received a message that the URL was not found. I received the following response from Suzanne at the BBL when I asked if their website was having issues:
"Hi Peter - short answer is yes. Our server and database have been undergoing security updates and other improvements and periodically we have all been losing access to portions of the database and/or web pages.
Sorry for the inconvenience and hopefully you can try again later!

Adult male seen about 1230p, from gravel perimeter road at the SE corner of the park, in the hedgerow bordering the Villa at Monarch Beach Apts. Look for the only willow tree along the gravel road and your in the right spot. The bird seems to like this spot, but was also last seen flying towards a large group of Pride of Madeira plants 50 yards to the NW.

You are right, Ryan. I’m not asking for a specific location being published, and I should have remembered to state that.
I do ask what happened to the tree, since it doesn’t seem to be there anymore. I ask if they have found a new site and the tree was subsequently felled, or whether the tree fell before they vacated. I hope it’s the former and that this park still hosts the owls.

I spoke to USFS today and was told it would remain closed likely until mid next week. For those of you that enjoy a quiet walk, try during the week between now and then.
You can find the USFS road condition site here: Cleveland National Forest - Alerts & Closures (usda.gov) ( https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/cleveland/alerts-notices/?aid=71172 )
Might want to put that in your phone:)
The USFS office in Corona: 951-736-1811
I was up there yesterday and I advise tall rubber boots to cross streams as the water was running fast and deep across the crossings. It was quite lovely. The crossings are really slippery and will be more so as the weather heats up. Walk flat footed as we don't want birders with broken wings.

Subject: [OrangeCountyBirding] Long delay at entrance into Irvine Regional Park |
