earthquake-report.com has this for volcanic activity for yesterday (re: the quakes recently north of Ridgecrest)

“Intense swarm seismicity continued overnight beneath the Coso Volcanic Field (CA). Event magnitudes ranged from M0.0 to M2.5. The activity has shallowed overall and migrated eastward from its original position beneath the rhyolite dome cluster. The dark cluster of epicenters in the upper central portion of the SCEC map represents the Coso earthquake swarm.”

Since the Coso Volcanic Field is used for geothermal power, are the quakes there similar to The Geysers injection quakes or magma movement?

That's interesting. Sounds a lot like the activity around El Hierro
