Birds Mentioned:

This is the Los Angeles Rare Bird Alert for July 3.

COMMON GROUND DOVES continue in Bellflower, with one reported there through June 28.  Up to three of these birds have been seen adjacent to the San Gabriel River and are visible by looking south from the Volutone parking lot.

A RED KNOT was near the south jetty at the Ballona Creek mouth in Playa del Rey on July 1.

A SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER was along the Los Angeles River in Cudahy on June 30 of the Clara Street crossing.

A LAUGHING GULL was at Dockwelier State Beach in El Segundo on July 1.  It was last seen flying south.

On July 1, two GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULLS were along the Los Angeles River in Maywood between the Atlantic and Slauson crossings.

Seven AMERICAN WHITE PELICANS were along the Los Angeles River at Willow Street in Long Beach through June 27.  Up to three NEOTROPIC CORMORANTS were below Willow Street from June 28-July 1.

At least one NORTHERN PARULA continued at Ernie Howlett Park in Rolling Hills Estates through July 2.  Sightings have been near the basketball and tennis courts.

The male HOODED WARBLER in Calabasas was reported through June 28.  From Malibu Canyon Road, go east three tenths of a mile to the Backbone Trail trailhead on your right.  The bird has been seen and heard about two hundred yards down the trail.  Note- look carefully for "no parking" signs; vehicles will be ticketed.  The safest course of action appears to be to park at Malibu Creek State Park and walk the two tenths of a mile to the Backbone Trail.  

A pair of SUMMER TANAGERS continued at Pearblossom Park in the Antelope Valley through June 28 north of the playground.
