Note: We may supply for many sightings (AT THE END OF THIS REPORT) links for
maps of those areas and aerial photos. Many of these are general maps. If
we have specific information from GPS readings, we will alert you to the
fact. After you go to the link, go to the BOTTOM of the form and choose
aerial photo (and adjust zoom factor) or the map (where eventually you will
adjust the zoom factor).
Observers: Peyton Cook, Tom Newhouse, Doug Willick, Brian Daniels, Raul Roa,
Steve Smith, Sam Hung, Rob Fowler, Kaaren Perry.
Last Thursday in Pond D of the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in Irvine an
adult (molting) STILT SANDPIPER was observed, but could not be relocated on
subsequent days.
Last Saturday at Harbor View Nature Park a female-type SUMMER TANAGER,
possibly summering in the area, was observed. (Also a Western Tanager was
present).
Last Sunday in San Juan Creek in Dana Point, around the Stonehill Avenue
bridge, a juvenile BAIRD'S SANDPIPER was seen. It was reseen in the same
area this morning (Wed.)
REDDISH EGRETS continue to be reported in the County. Both were seen at low
tide last Saturday on the northern part of Bolsa Chica Preserve, and a
single individual was reported yesterday (Tuesday).
Today along Creek Trail in El Morro Canyon, a WHITE-WINGED DOVE was recorded
in the "second fenced-in area."
