Owen and I got our 1st county VARIED THRUSH at Biddle Park. We figured the habitat would be perfect. Like the greats say... Learning habitat is critical (and saves gas!) also saw 40 TOWNSENDS WARBLERS

I got out for a check of several spots in advance of this afternoon's much-needed storm. Oceano Campground produced a female Black-and-white Warbler and 3 different Black-throated Gray Warblers, but
