Birders: While conducting a site visit at the Parkside Restoration area by Bolsa Chica, I was trying to lay glass on a singing yellow-breasted chat when a male INDIGO BUNTING flew across my field of view and perched for about a minute in a bare shrub. I was able to get some photos before he flew into the weeds. I have not relocated him at this time. The spot i viewed him from is a public-access concrete path at gps point(33.7086903, -118.0395428). This spot is easily accessible from the end of goldenrod circle. The bird was in the scrubby weedy area in front of the eucalyptus trees to the west. Needless to say, do NOT attempt to trespass the gate, stay on the path itself. good birding, Samuel Bressler Fullerton |
