Bird enthusiasts may shiver at the thought of their favorite backyard birds enduring long winter nights outside in the cold.
While Southern California enjoys more moderate temperatures than most of the country, periods of chilly wet weather can still deprive our local birds of their ability to stay warm.

Birding provides enjoyment and challenge throughout life, getting you outdoors on your street or around the world. Birding knowledge is also a great cocktail party topic, and this is a great opportunity to explore the world of birding in a classroom environment.
he 2018 Pasadena-San Gabriel Valley Christmas Bird Count just concluded its 73rd year, and by all accounts it was a great success. One hundred and seventy-two species were recorded on count day, a record high. The full report will be published later, but I thought it might be interesting to take a brief look back at the beginning of the count. The first Pasadena-San Gabriel Valley CBC took place on December 28, 1946. World War II had ended just 16 months earlier and fewer than four million people lived in Los Angeles County.
