For the next several days, we're off to Southern California to visit a daughter. This is also high school soccer season, and it's awfully hard to juggle soccer games and birds, so I have been missing a few days here and there.

That's not such a big deal, for the most part the way it looks in my back yard is that all the birds in the world are Pine Siskins, and then more Pine Siskins, mixed in with some House Finches, White-winged Doves, and House Sparrows. If you do not have enough pictures of these birds already, let me know and I will cheerfully send you some extras.

While I am in San Diego, we'll see if there's any different birds there...
