Here are key results in California's 2024 primaries

By Washington desk

California's presidential primaries offer a big delegate haul, and the state's congressional primaries are also held March 5.

President Biden, former President Donald Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley are vying for their party's delegates.

State and congressional primaries are nonpartisan, where all candidates are on the same ballot and the top two, regardless of party, run against each other in the general election.

The most notable primary is for U.S. Senate, as several candidates are vying to fill the seat long held by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein and now occupied by Sen. Laphonza Butler.

Polls close at 8 p.m. local time/11 p.m. ET.

    Introduction to Loggerhead Shrikes when they are at their peak abundance in Florida
    Dr. Jerry Jackson
    The Loggerhead Shrike is found in Florida year-round, but reaches its peak abundance in mid-winter with the arrival of more-northern migrant birds.Shrikes feed extensively on insects, small mammals, birds, reptiles and other prey that they capture on or near the ground. As snow begins to cover the ground to the north, shrikes head south – joining the human “snowbirds” and our resident non-migratory population of shrikes.Little is known of interactions between the migrant and the resident shrike populations – providing a difficult, probably long-term, research opportunity. Both resident and migrant shrikes occupy open habitats both in cities and in the country-side.Roadsides with close-cropped vegetation and bordering fences are favored sites because of the presence of road-killed or injured animals and the ease of seeing animals crossing the road.Their flight in pursuit of prey is often within 3-4 feet of the ground. This, of course also makes shrikes vulnerable to getting hit on the road. Thus far Loggerhead Shrikes remain across their continent-wide range, but they also remain very vulnerable.
