There has been what looks like a young Indigo Buntings (see photo below taken by property owner) visiting a feeder at a private residence on Santecito Dr., Santa Barbara over the last few days. It was last seen today (Sun). According to Lehmans BOSBC 2022, there have only been 5 winter records for this species in the county.

I first heard the sharp PIT call repeatedly, then finally saw a female-type warm brown bunting perched atop a small live oak next to La Patera Rd, near the east-west entrance path at the bottom of the dam. I watched it move around this area to various perches, pit-calling and also doing a typical buzzy bunting call. The bird was overall a warm brown color, slightly darker above with blurry brown streaks below, and the slightly raised crown seemed a tiny bit darker. The bill was typically bunting-type, triangular and larger than a House Finch bill, not as large as a grosbeak bill. It may have been two-toned (light and dark upper and lower), but I can't be sure about that. It twitched its tail quite a lot when calling. I got a truly terrible audio recording with only a couple of Pit calls and really loud traffic. In the recording it sounds a little like a Yellow-rumped Warbler, but the pit calls were indeed the bunting. I am leaning away from the more expected Lazuli Bunting, mainly because of the streaking on the breast and overall browner tones. And the bill was not large enough to be Blue Grosbeak." *********** You received this message because you are subscribed to eBird's Santa Barbara County Rare Bird Alert Manage your eBird alert subscriptions: https://ebird.org/alerts eBird Alerts provide recent reports of regionally or seasonally rare species (Rarities Alerts) or species you have not yet observed (Needs Alerts) in your region of interest; both Accepted and Unreviewed observations are included.

Its been quite the last few weeks out at Scorpion Ranch. I think weve had pretty good birder coverage over the past 6 weeks, with birders present about a third to half of those days (this is off the top of my head; I havent checked ebird data). I went 6 times and spent the night twice, so I had 8 days of birdingand I didnt get bored! Only 1 of the 6 times was poor for migrants, so I spent my time going for hikes, which is very pleasant out there. I have had some of the most fulfilling birding of my life at Scorpion this fall. Is it always this good Only time will tell, but I suspect this has been a particularly good year. The list of birds seen, though, gives an idea of the potential of this location as a vagrant trap.
Below is a list of the scarce or rare birds reported from Scorpion this fall, not necessarily those verified. Again, its all off the top of my head, so I might have missed a bird or two and my numbers might be off.
And fall isnt over yet!

I was part of a loosely-associating group who birded Scorpion yesterday; I was there from about 10:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. As far as I'm aware none of us were able to re-find the Bay-breasted Warbler or the Ovenbird. In general birding was slower in terms of rarities than it had been on the two recent trips I made there in the past few weeks. It was still very enjoyable birding, and there were, in truth, some very neat continuing rarities present (an immature male Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a Yellow-breasted Chat, an Indigo Bunting, and a sparrow I've reported as Spizella sp. because I can't decide if it's a Chipping or a Clay-colored). It only seemed "slow" in comparison to the amazing birding that came before it. Additional details, including photos of my Spizella sp. for anyone willing to share opinions about it, are in my eBird trip report: https://ebird.org/tripreport/81655view=photos John Callender Carpinteria |
Hi all, two days ago I was able to go with Island Packers to Santa Cruz Island and got to see six Life Birds for me, a total of 45 bird species, and of course, some of the vagrants that have already been listed, out there. (I did not see: Wood Thrush, American Redstart or Magnolia Warbler). My Life Birds: Black-vented Shearwater Dickcissel Indigo Bunting Rose-breasted Grosbeak Ovenbird Island Scrub Jay There were a lot of birds and I am so glad I was able to go!

I made the trip over today. I was the only birder from Santa Barbara County. I ended up birding most of the day birding with Eugene from Alabama, who was very sharp. Brad from Ventura was also birding today as was crew member Lori. There was also a birder who had camped overnight that we talked with briefly. It was VERY hot on the island today, probably about the same as it was on the mainland, and there was little breeze. Consequently, bird activity was fairly low, but there still was a nice turnover of Common and other Warblers. Here's what we didn't find: Wood Thrush Gray Catbird Chipping Sparrow Magnolia Warbler (lower campground report from today) Virginia's Warbler (ditto) Ovenbird American Redstart Here's what we did turn up: Clay-colored Sparrow WHITE-THROATED SPARROW (near place where Wood Thrush was reported) Green-tailed Towhee Yellow-breasted Chat Black-and-white Warbler Tennessee Warbler Indigo Buntings (2 different birds) Dickcissel Rose-breasted Grosbeak (at least 3 different birds) One of the hot spots has been the Ranch house yard and fruit trees. During the morning, we pulled out the Grosbeaks and the Dickcissel from this spot, but failed to find any of the target birds there. I had been told that activity picks up there in the afternoon, so I made sure to check it again a little before 2 p.m. I very soon found the Clay-colored Sparrow. But then, the groundsman for the National Park showed up and with his chain saw, immediately began taking down many limbs of the large fig tree. So much for finding anything there! With time on our hands, we rechecked the campgrounds again and found the first Indigo Bunting near one of the campsites. Then we went back to the ranch house area but the fenced-in area was still not showing much bird activity and the downed branches were hiding a lot of the ground. But in the grassy area just beyond the fence to the west, we re-found the Dickcissel with a flock of White-crowns and an Indigo Bunting, definitely not the one we'd seen earlier in the campground. And then it was time to go. Sea conditions were excellent but activity was low. We saw some small groups of Black-vented Shearwaters on both the outbound and inbound journeys: also, a Parasitic Jaeger each way and a Pomerine on the return voyage. Going out, I spotted a Rhinoceros Auklet and had a Common Murre on the way back. I know there is a group of SB birders gong out on Saturday. They will have the advantage of an earlier start and a much cooler day (though a rougher sea). It will be interesting to see what they turn up. Florence Sanchez |
