Least Storm-Petrel on SOUTH SAN DIEGO BAY

Matt Sadowski just called at 11:30AM Tuesday to report a Least Storm-Petrel flying around on South San Diego Bay! He watched it fly from north of the saltworks fly down to the southwest corner of the Bay off Emory Cove. Obviously it could go anywhere from there. Possible vantage points to check would be off Emory Cove, Grand Caribe in Coronado Cays, or Chula Vista Bayfront Park. Needless to say, a scope would presumably be essential. Good luck! There is at least one previous record for San Diego Bay. Such Bay records MIGHT be the result of a bird coming on board a fishing boat offshore at night and then getting tossed overboard once back at port.
Earlier in the morning at salt works Pond 20, we could not re-find the Semipalmated Sandpiper, but did have one juv Lesser Yellowlegs and a very surprising duo of JUVENILE Ruddy Turnstones, which breaks the previous 'early' arrival date of juveniles by NINE days. --Paul Lehman, San Diego

Still doing laps around south bay at 1200. Best bet would be to scope from the South Bay Bio Parking dike that extends east into the bay towards saltworks. Matt Sadowski

After a 13:05 scan I don't see it flying around anymore. May have moved north into wider central bay area off Grand Caribe, Attu Ave., or Delta Beach viewpoints. Matt Sadowski
