Paul,

For advice on birding San Diego/Salton Sea area, I would strongly recommend
buying a copy of the Lane series birding guides that covers Southern
California. The Lane books are a great asset when birding unfamiliar areas;
I was able to find six out of six target birds on a trip to Los Angeles/Dana
Point last year due to its information. At two weeks from your trip you
should be able to mail order a copy from the ABA, or it may be available
locally from Flora and Fauna books. If you get stuck, e-mail me and you can
borrow my copy. I also have heard of a birding guide in the Salton Sea area,
if you are interested let me know and I'll dig up his name for you. Best of
luck on your trip!
