The Arboretum was mentioned in The Wrentit article (v. 54, no. 2, Mar.-Apr. 2006, p. 3) on the 2005 Christmas bird count by Joh Fisher. "Allen's Hummingbirds tallied a high count of 128 birds, easily topping the previous high of 100. Not only are these hummingbirds common at the Huntington Gardens and Arboretum, but they have become widespeard in residential areas and in the scrub habitats bordering them." ..."More than making up for that was a well-documented Dusky-capped Flycatcher at the Arboretum in Arcadia (only the second count record)..."Red-whiskered Bulbuls entered the highest count since 2001's 128 birds with 94 this year. Nearly all of these birds are found at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino and at the Arboretum in Arcadia and they appear to be stable at those locations."
