With Light rain on and off today we enjoyed a day of discovering new birding locations and some great birds. For veteran birders of the county it isn't a big deal to observe a thousand Greater White

This afternoon we observed 14 Lewis Woodpeckers along Camp Far West Road, southeast of Waldo Rd. approx. 3 miles. The Lewis's Woodpecker community was spread along approx. one mile of road in the high

Thank you Subhash, I enjoyed the tour. Almost as good as being there myself. :-)

Today I went to Babel Slough Rd just south of West Sacramento.? There were lots of birds but many were hard to photograph as they flitted among the trees and bushes.Highlights were a Peregrine

That was interesting David, thank you.? I think that's part of why I like them so much - because they are found only in certain parts of California.? I'm glad too to know there are still many of

Hi, all- I see yellow-billed magpies fairly regularly in my peregrinations (while birding or biking) around Sacramento. One place I see them every time I go is on the Sacramento Northern Bikeway

Good to know. When I was living in the Arden Arcade neighborhood, we used to see large flocks of magpies on our front yard on a regular basis. Then the West Nile virus hit, and they became a rare

For whatever reason, the corvids were more susceptible to the virus than most other families. Crows seem to have bounded back pretty successfully, but jays and magpies were hit

Thanks Ray!? I hope they come back!

Well that explains it.? It wasn't my imagination.? What a loss for the Sac Valley!? I hope their population here increases again as time goes on. Thank you Ray!? I have wondered about this for a

Nancy...there used to be great flocks of the 'pies all over most of the greater Sacramento area; however, the West Nile virus decimated their populations several years back and while they're still

I recall someone saying the Marysville WTP is no longer being used. Maybe someone else can elaborate on this. Michele Swartout Red Bluff “In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he

We saw a flock near field haven cat rescue in Lincoln 2 weeks ago
