San Diego Bird Festival 2013
Feb 28 through March 4, 2013 was the San Diego Bird Festival and I was honored to lead trips on all five days. Three of the trips were on land and two were out to sea in search of pelagic birds. While at it I managed to find a few non-bird species too.
Over the duration of the festival I led people to 173 ABA countable species plus a few more non-countable exotics.
