Bird and Butterfly Garden Ovenbird November 16
This morning I took an early morning walk around the Bird and Butterfly Garden in San Ysidro. Lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers and White-crowned Sparrows all around the area, a few other warblers (Townsend’s and Orange-crowns) and the Ovenbird that was reported two days ago by Lindsay Willrick made a brief appearance on the far western split-rail fence. It flew down from the pines about 7:13, landed on the fence, then flew west into the bushes. The black stripes on the crown were very visible, as was the white eye ring and the black streaking on the white breast, the tail was held high as usual.
