We will be leading a Southern Sierra Nevada Owl Prowl July 3-6 Friday to Monday (departure day). Three nights of owling, (and days of birding) SWEEEETTTT!! We have been leading this trip for 20 years or so. If you can’t bear to stay up after midnight, or sleep in a bit, please reconsider.
John Schmitt, illustrator of the National Geographic Field Guide will join us as a co-leader.
February and early March offered typically pleasant weather, with many continuing rare birds and a handful of new ones, as well as the arrival of a few Neotropical migrants. By late March these migrants were becoming more obvious and widespread, with some already on territory. Breeding activity for resident birds was underway well before that.

Like all of us, I am spending these days at home gazing outside and wondering when this nightmare will end. My home office window looks out onto my garden which is filled with citrus trees, bladderpod, salvia, verbena de la mina, mullein, milkweed and punctuated with a few stately calla lilies and fragrant jasmine.

When my intended trip to Thailand fell through, I found myself scrambling for a new destination to go binging on exotic birds. Scouring the internet, I stumbled upon BirdsCaribbean.org, the largest organization dedicated to the conservation of wild birds and their habitat in the Caribbean. Turns out, BirdsCaribbean.org had established something called the Caribbean Birding Trail which, according to Executive Director Lisa Sorenson, was designed to educate birders about the more than 700 species of birds in the Caribbean, including 171 endemic species found nowhere else in the world! I was smitten. This was starting to sound like the trip of a lifetime, with lots of lifer birds to be seen. Even more exciting, I would be travelling in December, when more than 150 migrating birds wing their way to the region.
