Re: Ornithology B/C
With the disclaimer that I haven't heard a Carolina Wren in years... Carolina Wren songs are noticeably lower-pitched than and imo have a more musical, thrush-like quality to them with rounder notes. Common Yellowthroats are a bit more high-pitched, almost squeaky, which is typical for a warbler. Th...

Re: Ornithology B/C
It's December, which means it's Christmas Bird Count season! Every year for the past 120 years, birdwatchers organize to count all the birds they can within a 7.5 mile radius count circle.

I'm also an avid (insane?) birder. I am beyond excited that t...

Re: Find others going to the same invites!
I intend to be at all Division B SoCal invites (Ladera Vista, Kraemer and Mesa-Wilson), and will probably be proctoring events at all these if I'm there. Maybe I'll be at Troy, maybe not, who knows.
