Pine Siskins
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 H

Red-faced Cormorant
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

Oso Flaco Sunday
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,
