The male Black-backed Oriole is still present in Smuggler's Gulch in
the Tijuana River Valley, off of Monument Rd. The bird was seen this
morning as I was trying to take pictures, but it stays in the very top
(s) of the Eucalyptus Trees.

From the Intersection of Monument Rd. & Hollister Rd. Head west on
Monument for about 150-200 yards, and the Gulch is on the left side
of the road before the road makes a hard right.

Look for Tamarisk and Eucalyptus Trees.

Good Luck,
