Got off early today with a unhappy tummy but felt better after a nap, I decide to brave the traffic to chase the Wood Thrush in Solano County. Mace Blvd at the bridge over Putah Creek. One I got

And, while I am not eager to add “exotics” to the State list, I have never understood why Mute Swan is not on the list when they have successfully bred in many places in California since the 1970s

Yesterday evening around 6:30pm, well before the loud wick-wick-wick calls given after sunset, the Wood Thrush at Putah Creek, Solano County gave some soft robin-like chuckle calls. I had originally

Yes, Solano County. The Yolo/Solano County line in this area is Mace Blvd, not the creek, so everything west of Mace Blvd all the way west to Brooks Rd west of Hwy 113, is Solano County both sides of

Greetings, I posted a photo of the Common Ringed Plover from San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary in the Shorebirds 2 Album. It took this long to have the slide film processed and then digitized. Enjoy, Al

Incredible views 2:25 and again at 3:30 PM with Pat Mahoney. Others going in now at 4:45. At the previously described stakeout on Putah Creek west Of Mace Rd in Solano County (I think). Dave

actually, based on listening to a recording I made of Wood Thrush in the Yucatan last Feb, I believe the robin-like chuckle was also the Wood Thrush. It gave this call (only this call) earlier in the

Thanks to Kimball and the CBRC for this report. Kimball noted that Yellow-chevroned Parakeet is not on the AOS Checklist for North and Middle America. It is also not on the American

What are the ABA countability rules on this? Specifically, how are sightings from before this decision treated? Are the birds deemed established and countable only from now forward? E.g. I saw a

Birders, The California Bird Records Committee has recently accepted two additional introduced (naturalized, non-native) species to the California list, based on informational packages submitted to

As has been pointed out, I probably abused group privileges with my earlier post. I completely understand if a moderator wants to delete the post and all stemming from it. I let enthusiasm overrun
