Painted Redstart continues in the tipus on the northeast side of the middle school. It’s calling on and off (very distinctive), which is the best way to locate it. It disappeared from about 8:15 to 8:45, so there might be another location where it feeds sometimes.
Also present was a giant flock of waxwings, and a mixed flock of Chipping Sparrows and American Pipits that didnt seem to have anything more interesting mixed in. There was a Western Tanager in the tipus as well.

I forgot to mention that I also heard a Western Tanager calling in the same area this morning.

Last weekend an out-of-town birder found and photographed a White-throated Sparrow in residential Point Loma, and it reappeared there again this morning around 6:30 A.M. It was with a small flock of White-crowned Sparrows that were flying across both the east and west sides of Silver Gate Avenue between Warner and Dupont St. It was on the ground, in the trees and visiting backyards and a backyard feeders. The flock was constantly on the move, the bird favored heavy cover and it was dark and cloudy this morning, so unfortunately photo opportunities were extremely limited. But I did get an i.d. shot!

Today, Sunday, the continuing Dairy Mart TROPICAL KINGBIRD was present just after dawn at the tops of the larger dead/leafless trees around the "wooded" pond" on the east side of Dairy Mart Road, across the road from the main pond–the third time I've seen it there early in the morning, so it might be roosting there at night. Also a CATTLE EGRET and the usual Least Bittern at the main pond. The PACIFIC GOLDEN-PLOVER continues with the Killdeer flock on the east side of the sod farm. A female VERMILION FLYCATCHER is at the sports park in San Ysidro. Western Tanager at Nestor Park, another Western and a Bullock's Oriole at Sunnyslope Park, Black-thr Gray Warbler at Harborside Park, and an adult male SUMMER TANAGER at Kimball Park in National City, mostly in the eastern 2/3 of the park (check especially the several scattered pink-flowered eucalyptus). Also today, Barbara Carlson photo'd a first-cycle Glaucous-winged Gull at Lake Murray.
