Dave,
It worked for me. I composed my comments in MS Word and pasted them into the box. After providing contact info and checking the disclaimer, it went through.
Here is another related video of the Farallones:

Here is a (non-hysterical) description of the mouse eradication program:

One quick point. I had to remove the gap before 2013, e.g.
1) go to http://www.regulations.gov/#!home
2) enter FWS-R8-NWRS-2013-0036 in the box.
3) click "comment now"
to get it to work. Thanks for pointing me towards that, y'all.

Young female Golden Eye. There were 5 in the pond. I am wondering why they are still here.
Here is the lake they were swimming in.

Cyndie, send that Goldeneye my way!
Sunday I looked for one at San Joaquin and dipped on it.

Mike, love the Hutton's! I also liked your comment about GBH's. I saw
one fly by my house the other day and we're about 5 miles from the San
Gabriel River. What was he thinking as he headed towards the mountains?

We arrived in Cairns yesterday and have managed to get out a bit after birding from the balcony of our room for a couple of hours. If the birding is this good in town, I can't imagine how good it will be when we get to the forests and Tablelands. It is good getting some study on the migrant shorebirds here before meeting up with the rest of our group. It is rather disorienting that the most abundant sandpipers are Sharp-tailed and their are numerous other species that only rarely make an appearance in California. The birds in town are pretty exotic. Here is a little sampling.
There have been several new plovers for us.
The biggest, baddest plovers are the Masked Lapwings. They chase anything that gets too close, especially if they have chicks.
When they really mean business, they deploy the spurs.

Dave,
I think that's a female Yellow Warbler. The yellow under the tail goes all the way to the end and it has an eye ring. I think that is absent on Orange-crowned, but I'm sands NA guides here in OZ.
