Subject: [sbcobirding] Carpinteria CBC preliminary results
We had a great CBC in Carpinteria last Saturday, with perfect weather and some cooperative continuing rarities. Sixty birders reported a preliminary total of 160 species, with highlights including:

* The continuing Prothonotary Warbler at Cactus Lane
* The continuing Grace's Warbler at Caitlin Circle
* Two different Tropical Kingbirds (one at El Carro Park, the other at the Loon Point parking on Padaro Lane)
* A Burrowing Owl roosting on the sandspit near the mouth of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh

More details are available at https://carpbirdwatchers.org/cbc/. Thank you to everyone who participated.
