I hate to be a mooch, but I wondered if anyone on the List had a copy
of the ABA Birder's Guide to Southern California (2007) by Brad Schram
that they'd be willing to loan me for a couple of weeks.  I have the
older ABA/Lane Guide, but assume that much has changed in that area of
the world in the 20 years since its publication.  I've checked my
local libraries, and even the statewide "Ohio Libraries Share More,"
but to no avail.  If I weren't such a cheapskate, I'd buy the new one,
but who knows if I'll ever get another chance (I'm heading out this
Spring) to make use of it.

Likewise, if anyone can offer suggested easy-to-get-to (I'm travelling
with a non-birding friend) Laguna and south, especially San Diego,
"hot spots" it would be greatly appreciated.  I've seen many of the
California water birds, but am painfully lacking in the smaller, less-
defined land birds (flycatchers, warblers, California Quail,
gnatcatchers, thrashers, etc.).  Advice readily received!  And thanks!
