Two BALD EAGLES were at Bonelli Park in San Dimas on January 21.

The ROCK SANDPIPER continues on the jetties at Marina del Rey. The latest
report was on January 24. Take Culver west and then go right on Pacific to
the end and park. Continue on foot to the jetties from here. The bird may
be on any of the three jetties, usually at least half way to the end.

A pure or nearly pure GLAUCOUS GULL was at Echo Park on January 25. Echo

the range of variation for Glaucous.

A SHORT-EARED OWL was near the Ballona Freshwater Marsh on January 24. The
bird was seen west of the marsh after sunset. The Marsh is at the corned of
Lincoln and Jefferson east of Playa del Rey.
