Send reports on California Bird Record Committee Review Species sightings
to: Guy McCaskie, Secretary, California Bird Records Committee P. O. Box
275 Imperial Beach, CA 91933-0275 The species in caps on the bird mentioned
list (if present) are all Review Species; the committee would appreciate
documentation on their occurrence in Orange County. There is a website for
discussing birds/birding in Orange County California.
Please visit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OrangeCountyBirding. Radio
Codes for Birders in Orange County: channel 11 subcode 22 (national code).
We have a new accessory website that has recent photos of rarities and maps
of some birding spots in the County, including a map of Huntington Central
Park showing the "local" names for birding areas at:
http://members.cox.net/orcorba/
Observers: Marie Connors, Tim Ryan, Rick Shearer, Vic Leipzig, Mark Singer,
John Green, Tom Benson.
Note: that in the next few weeks I anticipate I will be moving from one
house to another in Dana Point. During that time there may be an
interruption in the phone RBA line. I'm hoping that I will be able to keep
the current number of the RBA in the new place.
Migrants continue to come through the area, and some unusual birds remained
in the county.
Last Saturday at the UCI Arboretum, looking into the marsh on a dead willow,
a male LEWIS WOODPECKER was sighted.
Last Friday/Saturday during one of Orange County's Birdathon teams, two
PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVERS were at the Seal Beach NWS, and the REDDISH EGRET
continued at Bolsa Chica Preserve. Two NORTHERN SAW-WHET OWLS were detected
in Silverado Canyon.
Last Saturday the continuing male AMERICAN REDSTART was refound along the
bike trail by the Santa Ana River near the Orange-Olive crossing.
