The real challenge in discussing a patch is making it somehow interesting to other birders…after all, a patch is a personal thing, so blogging about one’s patch is akin to blogging about one’s bird list…it may be interesting at first, but it gets old really quick. After this, patch birding will never be the same.

However, I am here to make the case for birding California. With the largest state list by a considerable margin and a mind-boggling diversity of habitats, I reckon we have some amazing birding to offer. So if you are thinking of doing some birding out this way, here is a quick run-down of some of the state’s best birding areas.

The water this Northern Pintail is in has human poo in it, which completely ruins the experience of seeing this bird. The majority of diehard birders do not care where they get their birds. There is a caste of birders, however, that do not subscribe to this way of birding…no. Oh wait, it doesn’t. Portland, Oregon.

I decided to spend my day Friday birding the heck out of my home borough to see how many species I could track down for the day. Nonetheless, I ended up with 124 species of birds in Queens in the just-over-twelve-hours I spent birding. It is annoying that the only game bird you can see in Queens are an introduced species.

Big flocks of birds are one of nature’s greatest wonders… how do they end up in those formations? As the world’s leading ornithologist, I can only offer you one piece of advice when sorting through a flock of birds. ALWAYS assume there is some other bird species in there that you have not found yet.

The communiqués read, in part: We were inspired by the recent passage of the 2296 bill and the raid of an anarchist infoshop in Oakland. Frederic Theunissen is responsible for the torture of birds in his laboratory. In the short term at least, it's not working. As the vivisectors revel in their false safety, know this.

To get out to the deep water we have to cruise for hours which necessitates leaving late in the evening, trying to sleep on an uncomfortable, moving boat, and waking up in the predawn hours to spend not-enough-time amid amazing birds before suffering through the long, boring ride through the “dead zone” back to shore.
