    San Francisco / California birding in late June

    Thanks James. I think I will stay on in the area in late June and check out a whale or island tour, but I'm not tied to San Francisco, I could travel back up into the mountains and even head back to Las Vegas for a flight home. If anyone has any tips for this time of year, that would be great...

    San Francisco / California birding in late June

    Hi all, I am road tripping with non-birders from Las Vegas to San Francisco via Death Valley and Yosemite in June. I am sure I will have some questions about those areas later, but I am currently trying to figure out whether I should add some days on at the end, starting June 21st, for some...

    Best guide to Vietnam and the region?

    Hi all, I'm currently considering the opportunity to move to Vietnam for a couple of years and have been enjoying the posts here as I try to weigh up the birding! Can anyone shed any light on the best field guide to the region? The most complete one seems to be Field Guide to Birds of South...

    Guides for trips to Vegas and Calgary

    Dear all, some great info on guides in other threads have perhaps swayed me towards the two regional Sibleys for my upcoming trips to Las Vegas area and Calgary, but before I take the plunge I thought I would check to see if anyone threw up other options. Thoughts on "where to find" guides...

    Guide book / ID book for Southern Morocco

    Thanks Steve, I guess the next question is - is it worth the trip down to Western Sahara? I like the idea of a road trip whilst there, but I imagine the roads are not fantastic so it may take longer than I think by looking at a map! If there's not much on the way or much different down there, I...

    Nutcracker & Tengmalm's in the Ardennes?

    Thanks Jonathan, I knew it was a bit of a long shot. I've got WTWBI France, it doesn't mention Nutcracker in the region, only much further east or south; A Birdwatching Guide to France (Crozier, 2003) has some areas indicated but still pretty vague. I will go and explore for myself in the...

    Nutcracker & Tengmalm's in the Ardennes?

    Hi all, I'm aware that there's a small number of Nutcracker and Tengmalm's Owl in the French Ardennes and was thinking about making this my first stop on a trip down to the Champagne Lakes in the next few days. Does anyone know what my chances would be at this time of year and any good spots...
