After last week’s meeting about grassland birds I decided to revisit a grassland birdwatching site I hadn’t been to in some time: the Point Sal Trail near Orcutt. For this week’s meeting I’ll present a trip report about my visit, including photos and sound recordings of the birds I found there.
I don’t expect my trip report will take a whole meetings’ worth of time, so I’m hoping some other participants might be willing to share about a recent trip they’ve made as well. If that doesn’t work out we can also just have a shorter-than-usual meeting.
I’m looking forward to it. See you there!
