A trip to Yuba Pass and Sierra Valley. This was a guided trip led by Les Chibana. Lisa and I got five life birds on the trip: Black-backed Woodpecker, White-headed Woodpecker, Williamson's Sapsucker, Evening Grosbeak, Pine Grosbeak. Since we don't keep a list these may have been life birds too : Cassin's Finch, Calliope Hummingbird, Townsend's Solitaire. I photographed 33 species on the trip. 19 of these were species that I had not photographed before. This brings the total number of species in my photo bird list to 221. There is more detailed text for a lot of the pictures. Click on a thumbnail for a larger photo and scroll down for the text, location etc. You can also select medium or large on the photo page and it will remember it for subsequent photos.
