After five hours, a stop for McDonald’s and gas, lots of crappy incidental checklists in eBird, a call from Brooklyn birders saying they didn’t have the bird, and a traffic stop that somehow didn’t result in a speeding ticket, we made it to Conesus Inlet State Wildlife Management Area where we were greeted by a Yellow Warbler.

McDonald Road, south end of the Salton Sea, CA. Kern County hotspots are birded the most heavily, but places in Inyo and San Bernardino counties can be great as well. Best spring and fall.

The Heard and Mcdonald Islands are also extremely remote and Clements lists the Heard Island Shag as a full species, although Sibley/Monroe lists it as a subspecies of Imperial Shag.

Horned Screamer Michael McDonald is a lot like Wile E Coyote and would like to see a Rufous-vented Ground-cuckoo ! Plus, I mean, it’s a giant chicken-looking thing that’s actually related to ducks… with that kind of identity crisis going on, what’s not to love? My most-desired Brazilian bird?

And indeed, the Tel Aviv McDonald’s does not sell any Hoopoe Burgers. Discussing important topics in small groups. Minorities are also well-represented.
