Subject: [inlandcountybirds] Rufous-backed Robin continues
The RBRO made several brief appearances this morning (10/23) at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area. It disappears for long periods. I think it gets easily spooked by people walking along the trail. Standing quietly in one spot seemed to work best this morning. Watch for it to come out onto the trail.

It’s at the same spot as Tuesday, between the parking area and the sign for the C3 blind, along the trail/levee between ponds C and D. I saw it from these coordinates:

33.893419 -117.109222

Map: https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=135641

It is at the group of ponds farther to the north on the map, not the “C” between “Pond 2” and “Pond 3”. Instead, go to the blue square labeled “C3”.

Mosquito repellent may be helpful.

The San Jacinto Wildlife Area requires a state Lands Pass, $5.66. Purchase online:

Good luck.
