Being a birder I am constantly reminded that California has something for everybody. Of all the world’s major biomes it seems that all we lack here is a tropical one. This is one of the reasons why you can possibly see 673 different species of birds here. We have the luxury of deciding what kind of birds we want to find and then choosing that part of the state to plan a trip to. This past week it was the western slope of the extreme north end of the Sierra and the edge of the Modoc Plateau.
