Greetings,
One more hotspot - Lake Sutherland - now has complete bar charts! Including a noteworthy inland observation of an American Avocet that barely evaded an eagle, reported by Steven Lima.
RBNU were reported in several of the hotspots as part of the ongoing montane irruption, and Dan King also recorded a Cassin's Finch quite close to the coast at Carmel Mission Park!
