EBB birding locations map
I really liked the examples of birding location maps from other groups
that Glen and Calvin showed. It's a better solution than I presented.
Here is a start for the counties of Alameda and Contra

Re: Black-throated Sparrow at Coyote Hills in Fremont
I was fortunate to run into Gail at the park today, and she pointed the way up the hill to where I immediately found the Black-Throated Sparrow. The first Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher I've seen this season
