Dear Ospreyers, This week I will be heading out to California for a family vacation/birding trip (at least for me). We're heading to LA, Barstow, Death Valley, Lone Pine, Devil's Postpile, Mono Lake area, Yosemite, San Fran, Monterrey, Ventura (hopefully the Channel Islands), and then fly out of LA again. Any tips on locations in these areas for good birding? Thanks a million. Scott Guzewich Bel Air
