July 7, 2015-   I’ve been trying to get out every weekend to go birding though I stayed home this last weekend due to it being 4th of July. My goal next weekend is to finally make it to Tucker wildlife reserve and Oak Canyon Nature Center in Anaheim. I’m excited to try out the […]Read Post ›

June 24, 2015- I went to Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve last Sunday and was amazed at the birds I saw there. Initially, I mapped out a number of places that I wanted to visit to go birding and the size of this local was indescribable. I know I spent 3 hours walking and taking pictures […]Read Post ›

June 20, 2015- Went to O’Neill Park this morning and probably overdid it. Spent 3 hours roaming around and really thought I wasn’t going to find anything new. I’ve been Sort of bypassing certain birds thinking I already knew what they were. Today I decided to try and photograph everything I came across. In doing […]Read Post ›

June 14, 2015- It’s been about a month since I’ve been out birding. Partly as a break, partly because I’ve been fighting some pretty nasty bug. Today, though, was as the title denotes, quite a treat. I got together with the other half of the birding dynamic duo (my daughter) and we went to the […]Read Post ›

May 10, 2015- Today, I tried something completely different. Previously, my trips had involved going to a predetermined location and seeing what birds showed up. This trip, however, I went in search of hawks and eagles and drove into the hills above my town. I located a bike and hiking trail I didn’t know existed […]Read Post ›

April 12, 2015- In doing some research, I discovered that Tewinkle Park has had numerous rare bird sightings, so I paid it a visit today. It is a family, public park but looks kind of like an oasis in the middle of Costa Mesa. I found some pretty cool birds. (Note to Self: try visiting […]Read Post ›

I decided my goal is to identify 100 birds during 2015. I should be able to do it without too much trouble.

March 29, 2015- Well it’s clear moving forward what my biggest challenge will be…….identifying the birds I locate. I can’t believe there’s homework for this hobby but I suppose knowledge doesn’t just happen. I’m looking to get as much written material as I can regarding birds of California, but I believe my biggest source of […]Read Post ›
