A couple days ago (8/12), I saw a small (8) group of Red-crowned Parrots in South Pasadena that included an adult feeding a begging juvenile. I imagine they don't nest in the area, but just move around the area with semi-dependent young. These were near the Mission St. Gold Line station toward the library park.
Out at the Puente Hills this morning, migrants are just starting to come through. There were small numbers of warblers (Nashville, Orange-crowned, Yellow, 1 MacGillivray's) along Skyline Trail west of Hacienda Blvd., and a couple Black-headed Grosbeak and a Western Tanager in the same area. These birds seem to favor vegetation along ridges in spring, and they were certainly concentrated up at the ridge in this area.
