Great information!
Even though it is listed on several of the sites you mention, I can’t say enough about the Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival. They have days of workshops, field trips, and just good information in a well thought out and executed forum.
You can get more information here: http://www.morrobaybirdfestival.org/
