This warm, muggy morning I went over to Santa Ana NWR with hopes of finding 
some early fall migrants.  I got lucky with my first July Yellow-breasted Chat 
for the Valley.  Otherwise there's not too much going on.  I had a couple of 
singing Blue Grosbeaks which I haven't seen during summer at Santa Ana for a 
few years.  Three Bewick's Wrens used to be a big deal but they're regular now. 
 The only water is at the far end of Pintail with Least Grebes, BB Whistling 
Ducks, Mottled Ducks , Green Kingfisher and several Tropical Kingbirds.
