The BBF and I visited Palm Springs, California! I snuck in some birding. There were quite a few things I saw but could not identify -- warblers, sparrows, and hummingbirds. Very disappointed that I could not identify a single hummer! But look at all the highlighted ones for my life list! Here's one list for three days (backyard, small city park, Indian Canyon):
mockingbird
mourning dove
Eurasian collared-dove
house sparrow
white-crowned sparrow
western bluebird
starling
raven
ladder-backed woodpecker
yellow-rumped warbler
chipping sparrow
Oregon junco
house finch
black phoebe
