September’s Carpinteria Birdwatchers online meeting will be about cormorants: Those slightly goofy but fascinating birds you see flying, swimming, and diving at our local shores and wetlands. We’ll talk about which species you can see, where to see them, and how to tell them apart.
Due to a scheduling conflict I have this meeting will be on the fifth Thursday in September: Thursday, September 30, 2021, at 6:30 p.m. Hope to see you then!

The White-crowned sparrows have returned! Yeah
Lots of Western blue birds in the eucalyptus trees on the Bluffs this morning. The resident Kite was present.
Great to see birds coming into our area. It’s been so quiet last couple of weeks.
