It’s easy for West Coast birders to covet the variety of wood-warblers back east, while eastern birders may lament the dearth of hummingbird species on their side of the continent. As the marketing for one iconic Southern California IPA put it “You’re not worthy”– and they probably meant it, too. The envy goes both ways.
