I just completed a week of camping in mid-Yosemite between Tuolumne Meadows and Upper Merced Canyon. I didn't find many unusual birds but there were a couple...
Sorry to clutter your inbox but of course I meant to report SOOTY GROUSE. I grew up with Blue Grouse and I guess the split still hasn't sunk in with me. ... ...
Hello! Yesterday (Saturday, Oct. 2) and today (Sunday, Oct. 3), my wife and I stopped at Martis Creek Park, which is located south of Truckee, CA on the east...
Hello Birders, Well…okay, it wasn't exactly like running for your life in Pamplona, Spain, but it was the first analogy that came to mind. Around noon...
Another nice spot to watch them stream past is the patio of the In-N- Out in Placerville, off Forni Rd. On Friday, in the 15 min. or so it took me to wolf...
Hello Birders, Yesterday, the vulture migration continued along the west slope. Between 10:15 and 11:30 am, I counted another 1500 to 2000 Turkey Vultures in...
Yesterday, although cold and gloomy, we had a very varied collection of birds at our feeders or nearby trees: Mountain Chickadees Pine Siskins Cassin's Finch ...
Calories are calories, they're just filling up. Surprised you have no late hummers. I've had them much later in October sitting waiting for the feeder to...
Greetings Sierra-Nevada Birders, This is a bit-belated report from Monday, 4 Oct. 2010 from along the south shore of the Bridgeport reservoir. My wife, Pat,...

My son Henry Dillingham and I spent the past 4 days camping on the eastside of Plumas County and hiked over into Lassen County on part of Saturday. Our...
Three recent things of note from the Glenshire neighborhood in Truckee: 1. My yard was completely overrun with Evening Grosbeaks after last week's stormy...
It was a perfect hiking day at Tahoe today. (October is by far my favorite month for hiking in the Sierra.) I walked up General Creek in Sugar Pine Point State...
There's a Burrowing Owl hanging about at Cove East in South Lake Tahoe. Saw it Saturday and again this morning. It was in the area between where the trail...
was still present yesterday (10/15) afternoon. I bumped into him way over by the cottonwood trees, where I guess he was hunting grasshoppers among the open...
I had great looks at a PALM WARBLER late this afternoon in Yosemite National Park. I believe this is a first record for the park and it may even be a first...
As far as I know, this is a first Tuolumne County record! Great find, David. John Sterling VVVVVVVVVV 26 Palm Ave Woodland, CA 95695 cell 530 908-3836 ...
I've spoken with a Park Ranger who said that Palm Warblers occasionally show up in the fen by Happy Isles in the Yosemite Valley in the fall. So, while it is...
David Quady just informed me that the Palm Warbler location is in Mariposa County, not Tuolumne County. The Palm Warbler sighting is therefore a first record...
In response to Kirk Hardie's post, Happy Isles is in Mariposa County. Therefore, Dave could well have a record for Tuolumne County. Lowell Young Mariposa, CA ...
Sorry for the late post - I accidentally sent this from another email earlier today (which the lists rejected), and I'm just noticing now. Don and Lynn...
Today, Ron Pozzi and I made a run along the Placer County portion of Lake Tahoe (Tahoma-Tahoe City-Kings Beach). Here's a few noteable birds. PACIFIC LOON: 3...
Seems awfully late, but that godwit pushes the late date for Tahoe out by a mere 6 days. Nice one, regardless! Surprised you didn't have more of note after...
Great information. Thanks Will. We wondered about the late date and the early snow on the mountains and dusting around the lake made the sighting...

Hi, Three WILLIAMSON'S SAPSUCKERs highlighted a two hour five minute birding period this morning along the easternmost 7.3 miles of Piute Mountain Rd. in the...
I spent the better part of both days birding and rambling around with my camera. I was scanning the lake hard for scoters, but no luck. The stiff NE winds...
Earlier this week my husband found a lone juvenile Trumpeter Swan in a small pond on Rte 108, one mile from the intersection with Rte 395. I was finally able ...

While shoveling yet more snow from my walkway, an hour ago, I heard some nasally "pipping" overhead. I looked up to see an echelon of ~30 Snow Geese, with 13...
