“inland” Sabines, returning American Redstart and hybrid Hermit X Townsends
9:25 am
The juvenile Sabines Gull that Matt has been seeing for a number of days now in the interior Salt Works is currently (9:20 AM, Saturday) sitting on one of the salt-mud Islands in the middle of pond 23 at the end of 10th Street, so certainly visible nicely with a scope. Also one continuing Lesser Yellowlegs on Stint Island.
Earlier in the morning, I had the now returning for at least 4 years adult male American Redstart at Seaport Village, as in recent years likes the little trees right around the artificial pond next to the Malibu Farms restaurant. Quite photogenic. And the returning also for about four or so years now spiffy male hybrid Hermit X Townsend’s Warbler continues at Spreckels Park in Coronado, usually in the northern half of the park.
