Lawrence's Goldfinch

Mike read on Inland County Birds that there were some Lawrence's Goldfinches at Redlands Community Park, so we made a quick trip and found them.

Birding in the OC

We went to the Montage in Laguna Beach for breakfast and decorating ideas. Then we stopped by Bolsa Chica Wetlands where Chris spotted a Redhead in the binoculars while Mike was chasing a surf scoter.
