California Birding in March 2008
4–12 March 2008
|
I participated in the Iowa Ornithologists' Union
birding trip to San Diego, CA in March 2008. Led by Jim Fuller, Iowa
City, IA, and Bill Scheible, Cedar Rapids, IA, we birded the San Diego,
Anza-Borrego, Salton Sea, and Idyllwild mountain areas. The group saw 176
bird species during the week. The following photos are generally in
chronological order.
