On Saturday June 11, ten birders walked around Cuyamaca SP Paso Picacho Campground where we found 44 bird species.
The weather was very hot and we had to put up with a lot of flying insects. We found lots of Acorn Woodpeckers, Violet-green Swallows, House Wrens, and Spotted Towhees.
Many thanks go out to Mary Jo Hayes and Tsaiwei Olee for taking some nice photos. Checkout Mary Jo’s eBird checklist:
