Hepatic Tanager continues at Villa La Jolla Park, 01 December

The female Hepatic Tanager continued along the northern edge of the park in the eucalyptus trees this morning. I first spotted her around 7:45 am, just after the out-of-town cyclist took off. (Sorry guy!). This is a returning bird first seen and reported by Alex Abela on 28 November. Shortly thereafter others arrived. but we could not re-find the HETA. The Red-breasted Sapsucker and the Bullock's Oriole were more cooperative.
