At the suggestion of Dean who welcomed me here, i started this thread. I'm mostly just curious about hearing from Yosemite folks.
I'm not sure what level comes before neophoyte, but that's me. Once you get past Steller's Jays and Robins, I'm lost. Having lived in a nicely resonant wood-sided house for a few years, though, I have in the past been an unwilling and sleep-deprived expert on Red-Breasted Nuthatches (and less so on Flickers and White-Headed Woodpeckers).
Mostly I've been seeing the usual crop of Jays, Robins and the other day lots and lots of Dark-Eyed Juncos.
One little note - I hiked the Alder Creek trail for the first time a few weeks back. Between having a recent burn and an unburned area with tons of snags on the ground, there's varied habitat and we heard an incredible variety of calls, though the dense vegetation made sightings very hard.
If you're a Yosemite person, introduce yourself.
