Hey gang,
We already have this bird on our list this year - but I think it's noteworthy/bragworthy here.
Yesterday I had a Black Vulture over Goleta. This is significant because there are virtually no Black Vulture here - the first ever record in SB county being last year around this time. It is very well the same bird - and I was lucky to see it yesterday. Somebody reported it earlier this week, and I was fortunate to have it fly over yesterday morning when I was looking for the Grace's Warbler. (which I was still not able to locate.)
Cool Matt.
ReplyDeleteOn a similar note it sounds like the male Bullocks is back this year too. It has been seen about 2 miles from us!
I am going to try for those gulls this week.
Peace
Great Bird Matt. When I started reading, I assumed it would be Ben posting, given the distribution of Black Vultures.
ReplyDeleteDid you ID the bird from its face/wing color or by its flight pattern?
