| 6/14/2016 thru 7/1/2016 We traveled to Las Vegas, NV - on to Lone Pine, CA - then to San Diego, CA - and to Santa Cruz Island, CA (for the endemic Island Scrub-Jay) - up to San Francisco, CA - and finally out to Denver, CO . It was a great trip to see family and we also picked up some life birds for us . |
| 6/22/2016 Santa Cruz Island, CA : A beautiful spot an hour's boat ride out of Ventura. We found a banded endemic Island Scrub-Jay immediately but had to hike a bit to find some unbanded individuals. Also, Song Sparrow. There were a number of endemic subspecies and a few other birds as well but they didn't come out to play. We enjoyed the Humpbacked Whales and Common Dolphins with young ones. Sunrises from Amelia Island, FL in May. |
| 6/25+27/2016 Palo Alto, CA : A Ridgway's Rail (old California Clapper Rail) came out for us in beautiful light and continued to wander into the marshlands. Quite a treat! Also, a male Mallard; and then we had another treat watching adult and juvenile Cliff Swallows snatching webs and other goodies from a roof where some others were nesting. Also, A California Towhee , an American Coot , and a Song Sparrow . |
| 6/25+27/2016 Palo Alto, CA : Red-tailed Hawk (stretching), Oak Titmouse , Lesser Goldfinch , Bushtit , and a Bullock's Oriole . |
