Brad and Tweets -

Try going to the California Bird Record Committee's home page and then to the
state bird list:
http://www.wfo-cbrc.org/cbrc/ or alternatively directly to the list:
http://www.wfo-cbrc.org/cbrc/ca_list.html

None of the birds you are interested are listed there, and the ABA usually
follows the lead of state committees for unusual or rare birds.
