Yes, just got home from there a few minutes ago. I could not find it but
the wind was howling and the birds were pretty antsy. They were constantly
moving around making doing a good job of glassing and or scoping difficult.
There were probably 100+ Brown-headed Cowbirds and even more Starlings with
a few Red-winged Blackbirds mixed in. Ray Porter met me there and we both
looked. As we went back to San Jacinto Point a second time we ran into Vicki
who had reported it yesterday. She said she had found it not long before
we got there and then they all moved. I might have to go back when the wind
dies a little and try again.
While there Ray and I went looking for Sparrows and came across this little
bird we thought at first might be a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher but the more
I look at it I don't think so. It was very photogenic and would just sit
10 feet from us. Feel free to chime in what you think it is. I am not sure
it is not a pale Pine Warbler but it just doesn't look right.
