On June 14th, fifteen birder enthusiasts enjoyed observing 39 bird species at the Tijuana Estuary. Highlights included extended views of a Blue Grosbeak and Gull-billed Terns, along with multiple Yellow-crowned Night Herons and Ridgway’s Rails. Afterwards, seven of us continued to Seacoast Drive, where we spotted nesting Least Terns and Snowy Plovers. Along the way, we encountered a variety of shorebirds, Western and Heermann’s Gulls, and watched a pair of Gull-billed Terns fishing in the shallows. We also saw Elegant, Caspian, and Royal Terns, as well as the targeted species.
