On Tuesday I went out to Scorpion Ranch on SCI. Very quiet. Best birds were a Thick-billed Fox Sparrow and a Hooded Oriole. Elings Park-- there has been a young Blue Grosbeak since Monday, still present this evening, in fennel below the stone bench. La Mesa Park-- a few birds yesterday afternoon in the wind, including a Hooded Oriole. Carpinteria Creek-- today there were two young White-crowned Sparrows, and a reasonable number of Townsend's Warblers in the sycamores. Bird Refuge-- number of peeps and phalaropes way down today. Monroe School-- 2 Willow Flycatchers this evening. Hugh Ranson Santa Barbara |
