EBB Folks, Yesterday (4/21) I was able to spend the day birding with Eddie Monson, up Mines Road out of Livermore and down Del Puerto Canyon Road into the Central Valley. We have nothing rare to repor

Dear East Bay Birds community, An important reminder from the EBB-Sighting moderator. Do not report nesting locations of sensitive species. This includes many (most) species of falcons, owls and other
