Date of our outing was Sunday, 11/2220 (trying to get the hang of new “groups” email)

Had 2 Pine Siskins at a thistle feeder on 11/19. Yesterday there were a total of 5. Goldfinch numbers are way down - I suspect it may have something to do with the regular attacks by a Sharp-shinned

For those who saw the eBird report of this species at Cambria be advised that a photo of the bird proved it to be a Double-crested Cormorant. This is a very unlikely species for the county given there

Good posts, Wes and Kaaren, I'll just add that in a birding world of only eBird, we ('mature individuals') would have missed Roger Higson in his full and infamous glory on Inland County Birding.

Hi All, I can not echo Kaaren’s words loud enough. When I was a young birder, the youngest one birding at the time in SOCAL and beyond, this is how we did it. And written description of a CBRC

Today around 15:00 we saw a small flock of Lark Sparrows at Laguna Lake park; they were foraging on the ground at the first left turn (towards the lake) from the entrance road to the park. Has anyone

Saw the sage thrasher at 3:30 p.m. today at El Dorado St. across from Sea Pines G.C. flying from a yard up to the roof top. Posed for a good minute or more. I think it had been spotted earlier today

Hello! We had a male Summer Tanager at Del Mar Park in Morro Bay this morning, around 10:15 a.m. More details on this eBird list here, and photos to follow

First seen by us on Nov. 17, we saw a female peregrine falcon at this location. Perched today near Bayside Cafe with full crop. Of note, it was sitting in a spot where we frequently see an Osprey

Walked Oso Flaco from the entrance to the beach today. There were 9 Scaups on the east lake, but too far away to nail down whether Lesser or Greater. The main lake was teeming with Northern Shovelers,
