There is currently a pigeon guillemot at the very end of the concrete breakwater at the harbor. It takes trips out to feed then returns to rest and preen on the rocks giving close looks. Also present are a few black turnstone, a red-breasted merganser and eared grebes in breeding plumage. This morning I was able to find the plumbeous vireo at chase palm park. It was flying between willows in the riparian area and the nearby sycamore trees to forage in the mid canopy. Other birds there included a Wilson's warbler and a few American goldfinches. what a fun windy day so far! Best Birding, Sophie Cameron Goleta |
