On Saturday, October 8, twenty-three birders met up in Huntington Beach at 2 of Orange County’s famous birding hot-spots. Initially, we birded Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, and later we met up at the Huntington Central Park for a picnic lunch and an afternoon of more birding. The weather was really nice and everybody enjoyed a full day of birding.
At Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, we found 47 bird species. There were lots of Ruddy Ducks, Marbled Godwits, & Willets. See our checklist and some nice photos here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S120265651
And we found 39 bird species at Huntington Central Park. Lots of Mallards, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Orange-crowned Warblers, & Swinhoe’s White-eye. See our checklist and some nice photos here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S120265458
Many thanks to Mary Jo Hayes for maintaining our checklist, and also, thanks to our wonderful photographers.
