As warblers are passing through where you are, or the overwintering species are now in their Magnolia Warbler breeding plumage, some of these birds can be a little challenging to ID. You may recall last year we wrote an article on the dramatic story of Redwood Queen, her long-time mate Kingpin and her chick Iniko whose lives were devastated by the Dolan Fires last August. Owls are normally associated with the deep woods and remote areas, and indeed this is a logical spot to find them. We have chicks! Each year tens of thousands of hawks, eagles, falcons and vultures leave their breeding grounds and head south along ridges and coastlines.
