At Devereux Slough yesterday, a LEAST TERN was fishing at the north end of
the slough. At the first observation pullout, a great number of migrants
have been observed over the last week, including a PALM WARBLER on Thursday
the 4th.
The LEAST BITTERN was seen from the bridge at Lake Los Carneros on April 29.
Two ROSS'S GEESE continue at the pond at the Rancho Goleta Mobile Home Park,
off Ward Drive in Goleta.
At the seal rookery below the Carpinteria Bluffs, there were two WANDERLING
TATTLERS on Saturday.
In the Cuyama Valley on April 29 there were BREWER'S and SAGE SPARROWS in
Ballinger Canyon, along with good numbers of LAWRENCE'S GOLDFINCHES. Several
hundred TRI-COLORED BLACKBIRDS were in Santa Barbara Canyon, at the feed lot
on Foothill Road.
Highlights from the Cachuma Lake boat trips last week included a BALD EAGLE.
Along Sweeney Road in Lompoc, migrants on Tuesday the 2nd included two
YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS, BLUE GROSBEAKS and RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROWS.
That is all the bird news for now, but, again, if you have a rare sighting
to report, call Karen Bridgers at 964-1316. Good birding in Santa Barbara
County.
