A second year LESSER BLACK-BACKED GULL was briefly seen, but photographed,
at Bolsa Chica Preserve last Sunday. This species is not know to summer on
the west coast, so this may be a first.
Birders have been at the Newport Pier scoping the ocean for interesting
sightings. On the 12th a COMMON MURRE, COMMON LOON, AND several CASSINS
AUKLETS were seen.
PURPLE FINCHES, presumably breeding, were sighted at Holy Sepulcher Cemetery
off of Santiago Canyon Road. Listen for their song... four males were
counted. Some were in the center of the cemetery or along the east edge.
LEAST TERN were again nesting at the Burris Sandpit in Orange.
