Quetzal Adventures

...what an amazing experience. Playing with Gray Whales

Had a great time exploring the Sierra and La Paz. It’s Time to look for Gray Whales

And we begin our 3rd consecutive Baja birding Adventure with the Golden Gate Audubon Society!

YES!!! https://biologicaldiversity.org//federal-judge-halts-cons/

It's the time of the year to look for vagrant birds with the Mt. Diablo Audubon Society. Different from fall vagrants, most vernal vagrants sing. This is how we found a singing AMERICAN REDSTART (dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/khf31ijbi33oybj/AMRE.mp3?dl=0 ) at the Earthquake Trail - Point Reyes. Other highlights were BLACK VULTURE flying above, WESTERn WOOD-PEWEE sitting on nest & SNOWY PLOVER (male) on an active nest. Great to spend time with Mt. Diablo Audubon Society Thank you to our wonderful National Parks Service red-vested Snowy Plover Docents!

We need to stop this project! https://www.facebook.com/1387460568160748/posts/2304342176472578?s=100001476288561&sfns=xmo

It’s hard to read these stories after just looking them in the eye a couple of months ago in Baja California. https://www.seattletimes.com//researchers-seek-answers-t/

On Earth Day. Let’s celebrate species facing Climate Change. From gray whales to Baird’s juncos let’s do something everyday. I’ll start with ditching the plastic ! Also, support local organizations like Golden Gate Audubon

Stay tuned, and join my Avian Treasure Hunt classes this Fall. Learn how to look for these formidable and amazing migratory birds as they fly over the Bay Area.

After more than 100 species of birds, including most Baja California Sur endemics, and great looks at over 20 Gray Whales, our trip concluded in the beautiful Pueblo de Todos Santos. Great to collaborate with the Golden Gate Audubon Society and it’s popular international travel program.

We set to find the endemic Baird’s Junco. It wasn’t easy after hiking 2 miles uphill, but we did it !

Better than sci fi

Fascinating deep sea monster
