Looking for semi auto recommendations

I'm new to bird hunting, I've been borrowing my buddies and my dad's gun for dove season but figured it time to get my own before duck season starts. I prefer a semi auto and a budget of about $1500. I initially had my eyes set on the Beretta a300 ultima field, I own an a300 ultima patrol and love it but obviously it's a home defense gun and a little different. Any recommendations? Must be California compliant. Thanks
