I am fully in agreement with the latest responses regarding posting of migrants and non-rarities (But in truth, I always seem to agree with Ted Floyd. Why? Because he believes in the community and the energy that birding has the potential to create, demonstrated beautifully through the Sandhill Crane conversation that occurred several years ago on Cobirds). I travel a lot. I may be out-of-town, but I still follow the news on the block about what's happening with bird activity here. I get a sense of where I might go birding when I'm limited in the time I have to bird. It helps create the context for the world of birds we're observing in our neighborhood, region, and state. If people don't want to read about yet another Yellow-rumped Warbler, skip the post. I'm into birds, and that happens to incude rarities.
With that said, I saw a very mottled Lazuli Bunting male skulking in shrubs on the Mt. Sanitas trail today. Nothing else was active at all. It's probably not a bird I would have posted generally, but goodness, this conversation made me determined to post this evening.
