But after the recent controversy that surrounded the renaming of the Gray Jay to Canada Jay , perhaps its best to leave these names be for now (and you can find Canada Jays in California and even Arizona, by the way). Sand Point Family Vineyards: Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (Lodi Appellation). Good birding and happy drinking!

California Condor. Given that they are a family of obscure deepwater whales that are very hard to see, I would imagine this is a contender for one that will never leave my list. My favourite animal as a kid. I came even closer to seeing this one, as a friend and I were all set to drive to Big Sur to watch a release.
