REDDISH EGRETS continue to be recorded in the Coiunty. One on the mudflats
at Bolsa Chica Preserve at Warner at PCH was reported on Friday. The other
reported yesterday (Tuesday) on the lower part of the Santa Ana River.
*** One person reported that the "south parking lot and walkbridge at Bolsa
Chica are closed until late November, so the Warner and PCH lot is the best
access. Birders can cross the Warner bridge by foot and hike along Outer
Bolsa
Bay on the inland side, cross over the tide gates, and continue along the
dune
trail to see Inner Bolsa Bay."
On the south end of Bolsa Chica on the 16th, in the vicinity of Harriet
