Painted Redstart in Point Loma

[All photographs copyright, Gary Nunn 2014] – I discovered this Painted Redstart Myioborus pictus at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery on 11 Oct 2014 while trying to attract a couple of orioles out of a Ficus tree with a screech owl call. The redstart suddenly appeared flying in from behind me and was very agitated by the owl call. I went back to my car to fetch the big telephoto lens and by the time I returned it had disappeared. Unfortunately it was not relocated despite much searching!
