The LEAST BITTERN at Upper Newport Bay along Back Bay Drive...where there is
a tree on the bay side, and a reedy area on the bluff side with water, was
found both on Friday and on Saturday.
At Bolsa Chica Preserve the two REDDISH EGRETS continued last weekend.
The YELLOW-THROATED WARBLER continued at Tewinkle Park, in trees along the
northern wall west of the playground...last reported on Saturday.
A PLUMBEOUS VIREO was reported from Craig Regional Park on Sunday.
On Monday at Fairhaven Memorial Park, the block immediately east of the
mausoleum, a female type VARIED THRUSH was found.
At Huntington Central Park on Tuesday the continuing BLACK AND WHITE WARBLER
was in a group of trees next to the paved path just north of the "island"
area. Last Saturday a SUMMER TANAGER was across the ditch from the Slater
Street Parking Lot.
LEWIS WOODPECKERS continued at two locations in the County. One was at
O'Neill Regional Park at the Oak Grove Area and the other site where two
were found was at the end of Black Starr Canyon where the road is gated.
A fairly good first cycle GLAUCOUS GULL was found last Friday at Doheny
State Beach with a tad more black along the cutting edge of the bill then
expected.
Finally, on restricted property, a subadult BALD EAGLE was at the Seal Beach
Naval Weapons Station on Sunday along with 2-3 FERRUGINOUS HAWKS.
