My husband and I just finished a birding trip to California, starting at San Francisco and ending in LA. Our goal was to find as many of the CA specialty birds as possible within that area; we did very well with the Tri-colored Blackbird the only target species missed. I've posted a few of the 4000 or so photos I took at http://www.cheepersbirding.com/california-photos.html Cindy Beckman Cheepers!
