Birding Information for Calaveras and Alpine Counties

written and submitted by Penelope Bowen

I was formerly the Subregional Editor for Alpine and Calaveras County. Subregional Editors send bird reports to the California Regional Editors four seasons a year. These editors then compile the data and send it to the American Birding Association. They publish a quarterly journal of ornithological records: "North American Birds". During my time I collected a lot of bird information for various areas and that information is posted here for your interest. I had to retire from this job in January 2004 so I have not been able to keep these lists current, new species have been added to many of the lists. The site pages are still reasonably accurate.

For more updated species information you can contact the current compiler for Alpine and Calaveras:

John Sterling ani@cal.net

I also started the first Calaveras County Christmas Bird Count in 1990. The history and information from the days when I compiled this count can be found in the web sites listed above.

(Please note - until this note is removed not all of the links may work - I am still working on posting these pages.)
