A lot of exciting scouting has been going on in the Carpinteria CBC circle lately:
- The Haida Street Baltimore Oriole continues to be seen, most recently by Alex Castelein this morning.
- Andrea Adams-Morden found three Ring-necked Ducks in the Kim’s Market pond today.
- I found some Mountain Quail yesterday near Romero Saddle.
- Yesterday Jenny Slaughter, Craig Murray, Alan Prichard, and I visited Jameson Lake. (Alan is the dam caretaker there, and provided access for us to drive to the usually inaccessible-by-car location.) Highlights included 2 male Common Goldeneyes, at least 2 Violet-green Swallows, 8 Wilson’s Snipes, and a very-unusual-for-the-date Vaux’s Swift flying north of the lake with a White-throated Swift.
Details of the Jameson Lake scouting trip are in the eBird trip report I created.
The full report of species reported in eBird over the last 14 days for the Carpinteria and Santa Barbara CBC circles is below. We’re up to 139 species reported. How high can we get by count day? More importantly, how high can we get on the count itself??? 🙂
