A Photographic Big Year for the Birds- Throughout 2013 I will photograph as many bird species as possible in a "Photographic Big Year". I'm aiming for 500. The purpose of this big year and blog is to raise awareness and donations for the American Bird Conservancy's work with endangered birds in Hawaii. Please consider supporting their effort.

Red Crossbills
Even though Red Crossbills are around a few of the areas we work, they are sporadic and, before yesterday, I hadn't seen any. This is a species I wasn't worried about photographing out west as I knew I could get them in Minnesota. But, yesterday (7/17), while camping in Silver Canyon, CA, I had a pair that were very vocal, although less cooperative for photos. I haven't had the time nor resources to check what "types" of Red Crossbills have been documented out here, but I did take some recordings that I will send to the appropriate people.
Now, I'm off work for 4 days. Heading to Half Moon Bay and the surrounding areas. Will be birding all weekend, with a pelagic trip out of Half Moon Bay on Sunday. Check back soon!
