This is the Los Angeles Rare Bird Alert for Thursday, March 4.
The EURASIAN WIGEON continued through February 27 on the LA River adjacent to
the Bette Davis Picnic Area in Glendale.
A few BLACK SCOTERS and WHITE-WINGED SCOTERS continue off Dockweiler State Beach
in El Segundo and off Santa Monica Beach. The mix of scoters here changes
frequently.
An adult BALD EAGLE continues to be seen at Bonelli Park in San Dimas. Also at
Bonelli was a single SWAINSON’S HAWK on February 28 and a flock of fifty was
above Claremont on March 3.
The YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER continues at Lindberg Park in Culver City. It is
regular opposite 10963 Ocean Drive.
A GRAY FLYCATCHER continues at Augustus Hawkins Natural Area in Los Angeles.
Look along the south and west edges of the wetland area. Another GRAY
FLYCATCHER continues at Bonelli Park in San Dimas.
The DUSKY-CAPPED FLYCATCHER at Creek Park in La Mirada was seen through February
27. Try looking and listening for it in the eucalyptus on the hill. It can be
easy to miss.
Up to two dozen MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRDS have been present on both the north and south
side of Brackett Field in La Verne. The latest report was of six birds on the
north side on February 1. This area can be accessed along Puddingstone Drive
east of Bonelli Park.
The PAINTED REDSTART continues at Monrovia Canyon Park, being last reported on
February 26. Look for it around the Nature Center, although it moves around the
area and sometimes down to the Sawpit Dam gate.
The female SUMMER TANAGER continues at Ed Vincent Park in Inglewood, usually in
eucalyptus west of the tennis courts.
A rare find was a COMMON GRACKLE at El Dorado Park in Long Beach on March 1. It
was by the second bridge (past Snake Road) after entering the park on the north
side of Spring Street. This bird may have been one of several Common Grackles
at this location, but the additional birds need confirmation.
An adult male BALTIMORE ORIOLE continued at the Los Angeles National Cemetery in
Westwood through February 28. It was last seen in eucalyptus near the junction
of Veteran’s Ave., Appomattox Dr. and Antietam. An adult male SUMMER TANAGER
was seen just north of this spot on February 27.
VENTURA COUNTY—
A ZONE-TAILED HAWK was just north of the Ojai Meadows Preserve near Ojai on the
morning of February 28.
Three LEWIS’S WOODPECKERS were on Santa Ana Road north of Highway 150 and Lake
Casitas on February 28. These birds were in a group of dead sycamores on the
north side of the road approximately six tenths of a mile from Hwy 150. Two
more LEWIS’S WOODPECKERS were seen past the gate on Canada Larga Road.
A RED-NAPED SAPSUCKER was also along Canada Larga Road in the pepper trees past
the roadside memorial.
