Not a lot: local birding; photo link

Am paying for all the extravagant birding I've done over the last month, and am working like mad to have something to present at a conference in NW California next week. Managed an early morning trip out with Sami LaRocca in search of some Central Valley Big Year target birds. We managed Bank and Violet-Green Swallows, plus Mountain Quail and a rather spectacular view from the top of the Arbuckle Grade. In the absence of any pics of my own, I include a link to Marcel Holyoak's brand new bird photo page - there are many shots of the birds we saw in AZ (only better than mine). The Slate-throated Redstart (RIP) shots are amazing!
