I just moved to Northern California, the East Bay area near Walnut
Creek and Mt. Diablo.  There are so many pretty birds here!  I've
been leaving a small pile of seeds on my back porch and my most
frequent visitors are blue scrub jays, and sometimes a stellar jay
with a cool head feather display.

Then about two blocks down my street there is a hill across from a
small creek where I see wild turkeys and quail.  Last week there
were a dozen turkeys and a few days later several dozen quail
paraded by me as I walked by.

Satan. Mount Diablo. Heh heh heh.

Ahem.

Anyway, if you get down to the Berkeley marina, there are some nice little 
lagoons and excellent "duckids" most times of year. Good birding along that 
stretch; I've seen lots of ruddy ducks there -- not uncommon, but lovely 
little ducks.

Oh, yeah, I forgot that this week I'm Satan (I rotate aliases and my
current theme is South Park characters, Satan being a regular on
that show).  And yeah, it is pretty cool living near Mt. Diablo, my
alias for many years was Diablo because I am an anti-xian Satanist.

Oh, cool.  I haven't been to Berkeley yet, I plan to visit soon to see
where all the hippies protested and rioted back in the 1960s.  I've got
a nice 35mm camera with a telephoto lens, but I think I need a tripod
because it needs to be held very steady.  The Mt. Diablo Audobon Society
also mentions Black Diamond Mines as being a good place to see birds.
