Hi Everyone,

On Saturday morning April 8, twenty-five birders met up at Mission
Trails Regional Park and we walked the Dam to the Grasslands Trail. The
weather was perfect.

We found 55 bird species. Lots of Tree Swallows, Bushtits, and House
Wrens. It’s always neat to hear the call, and then see the elusive
Yellow-breasted Chat!

This year, with all of the heavy rain, the San Diego River was moving
fast, and the trail was tricky to walk, due to the many exposed rocks we
had to navigate.

To see our species list and some nice photos, checkout the eBird report

Many thanks to Mary Jo and our wonderful photographers.
