With there at times being a debate about what a "listable" bird might be, i.e., any bird born in the wild, but probably NOT most of the California Condors, I...

I know this is about Fresno birding but I thought some of you might like to know that there is a pair of Reddish Egrets doing their distinctive flapping...
The two Cattle Egrets were back in my neighborhood again-Today, they were in the median strip on Corona near Genoa, just east of Polk-I got my camera and took...

I have been doing a little birding in my area lately. I went to the Dinuba Sewage treatment plant on Rd. 408 in Dinuba. There was a large variety of water...
I'm confident that the bird in the lower left is not a Dowitcher. The bill looks too short. The bird is smaller than the Stilts and looks small headed. The...
Hi, Jim. This bird's bill looks too short, heavy, and decurved for a yellowlegs, and the bird's plumage appears brown overall rather than gray. But the photo...
We just returned from the Wednesday Walk(?) through Panoche Valley. Best birds were a pair of Yellow-billed Magpies which were either feeding young or building...
