Nice column by Peter Ottesen in the Stockton Record today about spring migration in the Central Valley. Lots of detail about birds passing through spots such as the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge and the Los Banos Wildlife Area.

The great spring migration of songbirds, shorebirds and waterfowl is underway in the Central Valley and all along the Pacific Flyway, one of four major routes on the North American continent that have been traveled by birds since the dawn of time.
