Chestnut-sided Warbler: One has been hanging out a Victory Park in Pasadena and was reported within the last week. Is it still there? Pine Warbler: Also reported within the last week, although it's not on the list above. We've never gotten one during ABC weekend. Cassin's Sparrow:Reported as recently as April 25.

Common Merganser:Reported at Quail Lake on April 20 Thick-billed Kingbird:Seen at Griffith Park as recently as April 21. Some are species that we usually get, although they're on the edge due to migration north out of the area. Thank you! Regards, Lance BennerAltadena_._,_._,_
