Last Saturday at the mouth of San Juan Creek in Dana Point two BLACK
OYSTERCATCHERS were observed.

On Monday a subadult/adult REDDISH EGRET was seen at Bolsa Chica Preserve.
The bird may have been in that area for a few days before this sighting.

Yesterday (Tuesday) on private property around the Irvine Spectrum area, an
EASTERN KINGBIRD was observed. If the bird is refound and is viewable, we
will provide better details.
