Laguna Creek, just across the railroad tracks from the new Chase Palm Park,
still had one LUCY'S WARBLER on Saturday the 10th, foraging in willows and
weedy vegetation. Walk east along the railroad track for about 100 yards
from Garden Street and look in the fennel and anise.
This week, the following birds were seen from the UCSB overlook to Goleta
Slough, which is just opposite the Environmental Health and Safety building
on campus: A LUCY'S WARBLER, foraging in the fennel near the ditch, last
seen Wednesday; a VIRGINIA RAIL, also heard on Wednesday; one AMERICAN
AVOCET, and a PEREGRINE FALCON. [3 LUCY'S WARBLERS and a TENNESSEE WARBLER
were in the fennel this evening.]
A LARGE-BILLED SAVANNAH SPARROW was found on Wednesday at the Goleta Sewage
Plant. That bird was still present yesterday. Also present were three
PECTORAL SANDPIPERS.
At Devereux Slough, a RED KNOT was still present yesterday, and six PECTORAL
SANDPIPERS were present on Wednesday.
A BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER was found on Wednesday in Rocky Nook Park, in the
general area of the northeastern parking areas.
At Carpinteria Creek, an AMERICAN REDSTART was still present today just
below the Carpinteria Avenue bridge.
>From the Carpinteria Bluffs, which you walk south to from Bailard, there
were three WANDERING TATTLERS and four SURFBIRDS on Saturday the 10th.
At El Capitan State Beach, there was a report of a VIRGINIA'S WARBLER on the
9th and of two YELLOW-BREASTED CHATS on the 14th.
At Cachuma Lake, a juvenile BLACK SKIMMER was present on Sunday the 11th.
The Santa Maria River Mouth is now open for birding. Seen there yesterday
were a PECTORAL SANDPIPER, a LARGE-BILLED SAVANNAH SPARROW, a juvenile
PARASITIC JAEGER, and a PEREGRINE FALCON.
At River Oaks Park in Santa Maria, 9 BAIRD'S SANDPIPERS and 2 PECTORAL
SANDPIPERS were present on Friday the 9th.
At Waller Park in Santa Maria, the CACKLING GOOSE and the ROSS'S GOOSE were
still in the front pond yesterday.
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.
