Note: We may supply for many sightings (AT THE END OF THIS REPORT) links for
maps of those areas and aerial photos. Many of these are general maps. If
we have specific information from GPS readings, we will alert you to the
fact. After you go to the link, go to the BOTTOM of the form and choose
aerial photo (and adjust zoom factor) or the map (where eventually you will
adjust the zoom factor).

The REDDISH EGRET continues to be seen at Bolsa Chica Preserve, usually seen
below Warner. It was last reported this morning.
Last weekend a NORTHERN PARULA was seen both days on the east side of
Huntington Central Park near the "Island" area; it was a female type. On
Sunday a female INDIGO BUNTING was also around the Island area.
At the south end of Bolsa Chica Preserve last weekend, a SEMIPALMATED
SANDPIPER was scoped before the heat shimmers destroyed the viewing
conditions. There is also one and possibily two PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVERS
being seen from the same area off of Seapoint Drive (Harriet Weider Park).
Yesterday around the boardwalk at Bolsa, a BLACK TERN was spotted.
At San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary an adult COMMON TERN was seen this week,
and yesterday a SNOWY PLOVER was also recorded at the Sanctuary.
