No Orange Heights volunteer Tonya Fannon captured footage of the endangered least Bell's vireo (Vireo bellii pusillus) on the 400 acres between Irvine Park and Peters Canyon. They are currently breeding at multiple locations on the proposed development site. Male vireos arrive on breeding grounds in southern California in mid-March. Females arrive about 1-2 weeks after males and are more secretive, but they are often seen early in the season traveling through habitat with the males. Nesting occurs from early April through July, but adults and juvenile birds remain on the breeding grounds into late September and early October before migrating to their wintering grounds in southern Baja California, Mexico.
