Hi all. Just a note. This weekend is the Pacific Air Show that will be putting on a display in Huntington Beach. All of those fancy planes will depart from and return to the Joint Forces Base in Los Alamitos. Which likely makes it the most interesting weekend to visit Arbor Park, which is situated just south of the airfield. The air show is Fri-Sun. There will likely be planes departing on Monday as well. Theres plenty of bird watching to do. Theres nearly always kites and harriers in the field, vermilion flycatchers and kingbirds on the fence line. And you might get lucky with an unexpected migrant. And occasionally a Blue Angel will fly by. The parking lot is not massive and will likely fill up on Saturday and Sunday. You can also park in the neighborhood near Lampson/Heather or Lampson/Rose and walk across the street. Anyway, just thought Id mention it as a possibility. Happy birding everyone. All the best, Ben Newhouse Seal Beach -- Ben Newhouse Seal Beach |
