Lesser Goldfinch
17 May 1972 at Angwin |
![]() County birding statistics and links are on Joe Morlan's site. John Sterling's introduction to Napa County birding locales is also on Joe's web site. There is a published Breeding Bird Atlas for this county (Berner, Grummer, Leong & Rippey 2003). |
A search through my files located one single photo of a bird in Napa County: the nest with young of a Lesser Goldfinch on the campus of Pacific Union College in Angwin. This shot, taken way back in 1972 and representing the earliest bird photo used in this project, shows the female arriving to feed the youngsters. It was taken with an ordinary camera at very close range (no telephoto lens back then) just by sitting quietly. |
