I found some good birding this week. Moss Landing jetty - South was better than North (this time). Elkhorn Slough has a nice walk along the east side. Merced and San Joaquin NWRs both near Los Banos have nice driving trails where you will get close views of whatever birds are there that day. Questions?

This is a notification of an opportunity for birders to contribute to the
>
community by giving details and helpful hints about how to bird at any
>
eBird hotspot. You can help without being an expert birder. It?s more
>
helpful to be familiar with the hotspot itself. The website
>
https://birdinghotspots.org/region/US-WA is a site being adopted by Cornell
>
and eBird as an adjunct to eBird. eBird is a great resource about what
>
birds are seen when and where, but not very helpful as to how to actually
>
bird at a given location. This BirdingHotspots.org is a crowd-sourced site
>
where you can share helpful information about places you know well with the
>
wider birding community. It?s easy.
>
>
When you are at a site, consider opening the website on your smartphone,
>
navigate to the ebird hotspot, upload photos of the site (not birds, but
>
photos that show helpful details, like parking, trailheads, habitats, etc).
>
The first time you do this you?ll need to enter an email address so the
>
editor can know who is submitting the photo and text suggestions. I find
>
it easiest to click upload photos, then scroll down to browse, then click
>
take photo. If you like the photo you took, click upload photo, then save
>
photo at the bottom.
>
>
Then consider taking a couple of minutes to click on Edit Hotspot, and add
>
to the ?tips for birding, birds of interest, and about this location
>
sections. When you are done you just click ?save hotspot? and the info will
>
go to a state editor to review. In the case of Washington at this point
>
that is me.

If you have any questions please reach out to me by email.
