This is the Santa Barbara Audubon Society's rare bird report being recorded
on Friday, June 19 at 4:00 p.m. If you have a rare bird sighting to report,
call Karen Bridgers at 964-1316. For those of you who are getting the
transcript on the Internet, the rare bird alert number for Santa Barbara is
(805) 964-8240.
A WHITE-EYED VIREO was found at the Santa Barbara Cemetery on Wednesday,
near the intersection of Channel Road and Monte Cristo Lane. The bird was in
the dense myoporum trees. That bird could not be refound yesterday or today,
but a male AMERICAN REDSTART was located at the end of Monte Cristo, at the
Music Academy of the West. The redstart was still there yesterday. Also the
tagged BALD EAGLE that has been at the cemetery was seen both there and at
East Beach on the 15th.
What was probably a BAY-BREASTED WARBLER was seen on More Mesa on Monday,
but could not be refound.
There are still two ROSS'S GEESE in the pond at the Rancho Goleta mobile
home park at the end of Ward Drive in Goleta.
In the North County, PURPLE MARTINS have returned, with several seen at
Nojoqui Falls Park in May.
There are a number of TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDS on the south side of the La
Purisima Mission in Lompoc, off south G Street. 18 birds were seen on the
16th.
In Waller Park in Santa Maria, the SNOW GOOSE, the ROSS'S GOOSE, and the
CACKLING GOOSE are still in the front pond.
That is all the bird news for now, but, again, if you have a rare sighting
to report, call Karen Bridgers at 964-1316. Good birding in Santa Barbara
County.
