Yes I wish to see the Owl and many other species I haven't seen in California yet.
these seem to prefer to hunt near water. Every one I spotted has been near water. Not like the Western Kingbird that prefers open fields.
i don't see my self going so far. i would definitely love to see a Gray Owl though. They are gorgeous!
Been chasing rare birds in the area. But sometimes work gets in the way. I have trouble finding the Eastern Phoebe in Pescadero and forgot about the one in SF.
Haven't been up there. I've been saving up for my trips this year.
This is your bird I took last year at Heather Farms.

i had trouble getting it to show california. It was stuck in Australia. I will retry it. BTW have you seen the Gray owl in Humboldt county?
I noticed you never posted it before. Though it is rare for California, they have been spot sightings all over the bay area. Like SF, Oakland, HMB and Palo Alto. They have been showing up over the winters from a few years that I know of. And the one you spotted I know has been there for the past 3 winters at Heather Farms. But your map still shows the Stanislaus National forest.
is there any reason to be secretive about this spotting? It is rare for this area.
I see you finally found the Kingbird.
Your locations are still saying in the mountains. You should move them.
