So imagine my surprise when he turned up on Sunday at Peck Pit! He must've been there to spot Pine and Palm warblers like the rest of us.
I should've requested an autograph on my Birds of So. Cal book lol, had I have it with me then (it's in the car, at the repair shop though). He looked rather unassuming, so I made the connection only later.
