Susan Schneider and I birded the Bear Creek Bike Trail today and managed to find 43 species. The best bird of the day was the Peregrine Falcon, such a beautiful bird. https://ebird.org/checklist/S9218

Yes, we found the same blockage but because it had been so long since we birded there we thought it was the new normal. I suspect the Mulberry trees still had fruit on them to get those nice, colorful

I never did get a MacGillivray’s warbler during the migration. Maybe I’ll get a straggler :) I have had many Western Tanagers and a few Yellow Warblers but they are always welcome in my yard!

That’s Fantastic! I would love to see that!

Went all over the County looking for a Hooded Oriole, turns out I could have just stayed at my house. Just had a first summer male Hooded Oriole in my Valley Oak! I was so surprised I was unable to ge

Rich and I went to Mosher Creek trail today. Birding was light, probably because we were not in the right place (we were on the west side of Hwy 99 by the soccer fields but it appears there may be way

Just had a Rufous hummingbird visit the Salvia flowers in my yard. Also had a Western tanager and Swainson’s hawk calling. Lovely morning. -- Kasey Foley Stockton, CA

We went to White Slough (not the wastewater treatment plant). It’s an area in the bird finding guide that we used to go more often when the gate was open at the frontage road. Now the gate is closed s

Rich and I got out the day after the presentation and found the following:
