I am going out to California in early June and was wondering if any MD Ospreyers have any tips on any "must visit" sites, or on which site guides they have found useful. I will be staying in Aptos, near Santa Cruz. Although Shearwater Journeys doesn't have any trips scheduled, I may get out salmon fishing, although maybe not out far enough for Black-footed Albatross (the one I'd really like to see!). I'm also planning a short trip to the Sierras - probably Sequoia and Kings Canyon rather than Yosemite. Also interested in any hints, lists, or whatever on California butterflies. There seems to be a real dearth of butterflying resources for the West.... Thanks in advance for any tips! Tom Stock Silver Spring tstock@fmshrc.gov
