This morning, I finally located the continuing White-headed Woodpecker in its usual row of pine trees along the Entrance Road way into the parking area. It started calling frequently and that kept me looking until it finally popped in view for a brief moment.
I then went to the Eucalyptus grove area, where both Painted Redstart and Black-and-White Warbler put in an appearance in the parking lot tipus and Catalina Cherry bushes, but as of the time I left, the Bay-breasted Warbler had not shown. I checked out most of the area including the westernmost lot and not much else of interest was going on.
I finished the morning by checking Chase Palm Park again. There was a fair amount of general warbler activity. including two of the 3 Black-throated Gray Warblers I saw a few days ago. However, once again, I did not turn up a Plumbeous Vireo. Updates on any sightings of this bird would be appreciated.
One pleasant surprise was finding an American Goldfinch with the Lesser Goldfinches, feeding on the sycamore seedpods in Chase Palm Park. I don't recall ever before having on so close to the ocean in SB County.
