California (San Francisco Area) in January, what do birders want?
Hi, I'll be spending some days in San Francisco at the beginning of January next year (opportunistic birding connected to business trip). There are a couple of great trip reports/posts on this website that gave me an idea for the best spots around town and the species that I can expect.
However I was also planning to get a car for 4/5 days and travel around a bit. I have been studying eBirds so I got a rough idea to where people go. But maybe some locals can help me to plan these few days with more details.
Does the ABA guide for Southern California cover San Francisco area?
Would you drive south, north or east?
What are the best spots within few hours (8-10) drive from San Francisco?
What are the most sought after species that local birders go for in January?
Any endemic that I should not miss in this season?
Any general advice on what to do/not do? Apps I should get/off line resources/etc.
Thanks anyone that invest some time to help me.
Ciao
