[Tweeters] Birding near Sa Jose Ca

[Jim Betz via Tweeters]

  I found some good birding this week. Moss Landing jetty - South was better than North (this time). Elkhorn Slough has a nice walk along the east side. Merced and San Joaquin NWRs both near Los Banos have nice driving trails where you will get close views of whatever birds are there that day. Questions?
