simply to promote the activity of field birding in the county and to provide information to interested
birders. If you have comments about this website or would like more information about local birding,

This page hosts the most recent update of Paul Lehman’s, The Birds of Santa Barbara County, California (June 2020)
By Paul E. Lehman
“Input from the birding public is eagerly sought. If you have corrections or other information that would be
valuable to include in any of the species accounts, please submit it, preferably labeled "BOSBC", to
sbcobirding. But recent records from the current 'season' should be sent to county compiler Dave Compton
(davcompton60 [at] gmail.com). We will consider these data for all future updates. This electronic
publication can be modified easily, and the plans are to do so on a regular basis.[...] Feel free to comment
privately to Paul as well, but we encourage suggested changes to be posted publicly on the sbcobirding site,
so that we can all share in this potential new information.”
