As you step out of the car, the warm scent of wildflowers soothes your winter-weary nose, and your ears are treated to the sound of hundreds of marsh birds. From behind you comes a rising buzz, then a flash of color as a hummingbird zips by. Spring birding in New England? Nope. This is winter in California, and you've discovered a true birding hotspot.

Winter is the green season in California, when golden hills come back to life. The new growth is the result of monsoon-like Pacific storms, but between rainstorms come periods of gloriously clear weather. You won't find a better way to enjoy these winter days of azure skies than birding Monterey Bay.
