This is the Santa Barbara County rare bird report being posted on Friday,
February 12, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. If you have a rare bird sighting to report,
please post it to sbcobirding@yahoogroups.com. The rare bird alert number
for Santa Barbara is no longer in service.
An EASTERN PHOEBE continues to be seen and has been heard singing in the
fields east and west of the entrance to Ocean Meadows Golf Course on
Whittier Drive. A NASHVILLE WARBLER was also seen in this area. A flock of
geese containing several CACKLING GEESE and a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE
moves between the golf course and Devereux Slough. 162 Snowy Plovers were
seen at the slough earlier this week.
A TROPICAL KINGBIRD has been at Devereux Slough by the Cliff House.
At Goleta Beach Park, look for a male EURASIAN WIGEON that moves up and down
the creek. Probably the same bird has been seen at Area K at UCSB and at
the Goleta Sewage Treatment Plant.
The GRACE'S WARBLER continues in the pines at the south end of the Bella
Vista Open Space in west Goleta. In the same general area, a TROPICAL
KINGBIRD was seen in street trees in front of 271 Placer Drive.
San Marcos Foothills has quite a few LAWRENCE'S GOLDFINCHES and several Rock
Wrens.
HOODED MERGANSERS and a TROPICAL KINGBIRD continue at the Andres Clark Bird
Refuge.
Highlights from Lake Cachuma include AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS, 2 adult and 7
immature BALD EAGLES, WOOD DUCKS, HOODED MERGANSERS and CACKLING GEESE.
FERRUGINOUS HAWKS have returned to the Torrey Pine roost tree in Lompoc at
the corner of East Olive and South C Streets. A COMMON GOLDENEYE continues
at the Santa Ynez River mouth at Ocean Park.
A SNOW GOOSE, a ROSS'S GOOSE and 2 CACKLING GEESE continue at Waller Park in
Santa Maria.
Good Birding in Santa Barbara County and please post your sightings.
