After I wrote my sightings at Sea and Sage Audubon House at San Joaquin
Marsh yesterday morning, had a lively discussion with another birder
there. She also saw a Vireo at the exact same spot, SW edge of Native
Plant Garden(hummers drink on a small water stone basin!), but thought
she saw Hutton's.
But the white spectacle rules out that one(Hutton's
show 'broken' eye ring), and it was just too colorful(especially very
bright-green or even yellowish-on flanks. I actually wondered if it could be Blue-headed). Maybe there's both of them,
Cassin's and Hutton's!
And there's a local Audubon newsletter, so snatched one and browsed it;
Bolsa Chica is still FREE! Happy News so had to share it :)
Tricolored Heron, Yellow-crowned Night-heron still there, Sage Thrasher
as well. Even Rock Wren is reported. Orange County species is now at
197, hope I can arrive at 200 this Spring! Imperial County, now at 102
thanks to birding Salton Sea during early this month.
