Arie Gilbert and Lisa Scheppke present "Calibirdication: Two weeks of overly? ambitious birding that proved remarkably successful" California is a very large and picturesque state. The opportunities for great birding abound, especially if one is from the east coast. On June 13, Lisa Scheppke was asked if she wanted to bird California. That request came from Arie Gilbert. Deep down, they knew it would be a very good trip, but both knew that birders have idiosyncrasies. Arlene Rawls joined in, and a plan was finalized. But can three birders spend that much time together without driving each other crazy?
