    California Road Trip RFI

    pigeon point is a great place to stop between SF and moss landing for a wandering tattler. if you're willing to go all the way across the bay to oakland, arrowhead marsh is an almost infallible spot for clapper rail, but i'm sure other places might be good as well. good luck.

    Life List -newby 'rules' questions

    i agree with what fugl says. i personally have my life list in chronological order starting with the first bird i saw when i began listing. this is just what i do, however, and i know many people who include species seen pre-list, or have their list in taxonomic order. how you arrange your list...

    Nuisance woodpecker in San Joaquin County

    the best approach depends what it's doing. if it seems to be excavating a hole in one area, a nest box might help. if it seems to be pecking loudly while not cutting very far into the wood, then it is drumming to advertise territory. if that's the case, try hanging a nice, resonant piece of wood...

    Tennessee Bird I.D. Help Marshy Area Finch?

    another for rusty blackbird. female BRCO would be a colder gray-brown, and probably wouldn't display patterning of any sort on the head, as this does.

    Scolt Head Island

    it seems you had quite a good day. as for the widgeon, I've seen them on bays but never the open ocean. I don't think it would be too unusual , though

    Mountain Plover California

    golden gate park is also a good spot for townsend's warbler and california towhee, both of which are definetely worth seeing. also, a stop at pigeon point would be worthwhile, as it's a good place to see wandering tattler, and I suppose surfbird and black oystercatcher could be seen as well.
