The LITTLE BLUE HERON continues at the Seal Beach Natl Wildlife Reserve, 
Anaheim Bay at low tide (7:45 am) this morning (6/2). It was briefly in a 
place where it could be seen from PCH, but then foraged its way into the 
channels where it was out of sight of the highway (as is its habit).  This 
is a restricted area.

Also today, a sighting of a very late SANDHILL CRANE, flying over the Seal 
Beach NWR was made.  Given the date, it just might be summering in this area 
so keep your eyes open.

On 5/29 at Turtle Rock Community Park in Irvine a possible nesting pair of 
LAWRENCE'S GOLDFINCHES were seen and heard.  The pair (along iwht American 
and Lesser Goldfinches) were in sycamores and pines along the concrete path 
that follows the creek to the southern edge of the park, approximately 50 ft 
of less from Shady Canyon Rd.
