Hi Good Friends,

On Saturday April 1, twenty-eight birders met up in San Pasqual Valley
at the Bandy Canyon/Santa Ysabel Creek location.

The weather was perfect for birding and we found 58 different bird species.

Lot’s of Cliff Swallows, Common Ravens, and Yellow-rumped Warblers.

Take a look at Steve Ellis’s eBird report for our species list and some
really nice photos:  https://ebird.org/checklist/S132411774

After the walk, a small group us drove over to the San Diego
Archeological Center for a picnic lunch. We found another 22 species at
that location.

At the Center we found a really cool-looking Rufous Hummingbird, an
uncommon SD County species. Checkout our species list and great photos

Many thanks to everyone for this wonderful field trip!
