Not only did it help me relax, I was awakened to a world of birds outside my door. It seems they really like my yard and hang out there for hours on end, apparently. They dig in the dirt and mud after a rain, and they perch on branches to dive bomb for moths and bugs passing by. Then up come the hummingbirds challenging each other for favorite blossoms on my fruit trees &#8212; lemon, apple and lime. After an hour or so I felt renewed and went on with my day. When I checked back later, I noticed the birds were still there. Who would know what goes on in the life of birds unless you take time to look and pay attention?<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seecalifornia.com\/festivals\/california-birding-festivals.html\">California Bird Festivals<\/a><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>MORRO BAY:\u00a0Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival in January<\/li>\n<li>GALT:\u00a0Galt Winter Bird Festival February 2, 2019<\/li>\n<li>DAVIS:\u00a0Yolo Basin Duck Days February 23<\/li>\n<li>SAN DIEGO:\u00a0San Diego Bird Festival February 27-March 3<\/li>\n<li>BAKERSFIELD:\u00a0Spring Nature Festival March 16-17 at Wind, Wolves Preserve<\/li>\n<li>BORREGO SPRINGS: Desert Birding Festival March 13-14<\/li>\n<li>ARCATA:\u00a0Godwit Days April 17-23<\/li>\n<li>WELDON:\u00a0Kern Valley Bioregions Festival April 21<\/li>\n<li>POINT REYES STATION:\u00a0Point Reyes Birding &amp; Nature Festival April 26-28<\/li>\n<li>LONE PINE:\u00a0Owens Lake Bird Festival April 26-28<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re not doing anything this weekend, check out the\u00a0Snowgoose Festival January 23-27, 2019 in Chico, Calif.
