A EURASIAN WIGEON continues at the Woodley Lakes Golf Course in Van Nuys.
The bird is in the pond adjacent to the driving range. Access is just south

In the Ballona channel at Playa del Rey, a LONG-TAILED DUCK was seen on

An alternate plumaged RED-NECKED GREBE was seen off Point Dume on March 12.
The bird was seen from the parking lot at the bottom of the west side of the

An EASTERN PHOEBE was at Eaton Canyon in Pasadena on March 12. The bird was

A WHITE-THROATED SPARROW continues west of the Nature Center at Eaton

The THICK-BILLED KINGBIRD at Banning Park in Wilmington was reported through

Highway.
A TROPICAL KINGBIRD was in Area 3 of El Dorado Park in Long Beach through
March 15. The bird was foraging in the area south and west of the
northernmost lake in Area 3.
A continuing WINTER WREN was seen again at DeForest Park in Long Beach on

to the right of this entrance in some brushy tangles near a fallen
eucalyptus tree.
The BROWN THRASHER continues at El Dorado Park in Long Beach. It has been
seen along the two-mile trail in the Nature Center section of the park.
Look for it in the vicinity of trail marker #13 and 14. The park entrance
is on Spring Street west of the 605 Freeway.
Continuing BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS were reported from Camino Real Park in

Yet another PAINTED REDSTART has been reported in the county. This one was
at a private residence in Altadena on March 13 and 14.
The PAINTED REDSTART in Monrovia Canyon was reported again on March 9. The
bird has been seen at the Fireman's Flat Picnic Area and around the Nature
Center.
Another PAINTED REDSTART is still present in the Solano Canyon area. From
Academy Road, take Park Drive north and look for the bird in the small
picnic area on the left hand side near the top. Recently the bird has seen
just above the upper playground area. A HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER was along the
west side of the canyon near the playground on March 11.
Two CLAY-COLORED SPARROWS were in the Chipping Sparrow flock at Rynerson
