Thanks for sharing. I saw a Ridgway's rail in the open the one and only time I was there this Summer. So maybe it's not as rare.

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

Thanks for watching. Yes good point on the Ridgway's.

Looks like a good birding hotspot, lot's of birds there.

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

It was awesome!

[@birdman5223]

At least 12 I would have missed. I only have 8power binoculars, very educational👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@birdman5223]

I will watch this many time b4 I return to Bolsa, u saw at least 10 birds I have not I’d. The rail was ultra cool, there are artificial nest sites the volunteers have created for them at the Naval Weapons Station a bit north of there. Where 2 next?

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

I have a couple videos I'm working on now. Next one will be a park in La Jolla. Thanks for watching!

Nice vid, taken in the OC near where I grew up. Use a dead cat on that mic to defeat the wind noise.

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the tip on the mic cover to help with the wind noise.

And what made you go with the Lesser scaup ID?

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

Thanks for the question! I went with the Lesser because I thought the head was taller with the tuft at the corner. Also with the heavier barring on the back. What do you think?

[@cswatson4823]

@@TheBirdingVoyage think you did fine. It’s just hard sometimes figuring it out.

[@willschep2784]

It is really nice to join birders when they are making such birding trips ! Thanks a lot ! I subscribed. ...you could do so, too..)

[@livinghomunculus657]

are you sure reddish egret is rare for bolsa chica? its the only place ive seen one.

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

I meant that it's rare for the area. But you're right it is commonly seen at Bolsa Chica. Thanks for watching!

Do a voiceover instead

[@TheBirdingVoyage]

Thanks for the suggestion! I learned to do voice over after this video :)
