Impact on Stanislaus County Bird Records
In the 1980s, when Harold Reeve and Eric added many birds to the county list, their knowledge of Valley birds was limited, and he states he “didn't expect to find much at all.” Early on, he was very excited to find a Chestnut-sided Warbler, especially in winter. Later, he came upon a Swamp Sparrow when there were very few Valley records. Years later, he found a Laughing Gull in the county. Though Eric had always looked for this species, he could scarce believe it when it showed up. Eric has contributed over 30 new species to the Stanislaus County list.
