Nadine,
A good spot to bird and will be so beautiful with desert blooms is Anza Borrego State Park in Borrego Springs. Go to the visitor center. It is on the highway from San Diego. The Salton Sea spot is visitor center for Sony Bono Wildlife Refuge. They have resident Burrowing Owls at the entrance and wonderful spot for all kinds of birds. Ask were to go specifically at the Visitor Center. At both places birding early this month.

Hi folks, I am going for a very impromptu visit to San Diego tomorrow and would LOVE some quick birding locations to visit. I'd like to see birds that I wouldn't normally see here like blue gray gnatcatchers.
I am limited by how much I can hike/walk. I have a medical condition which means I can maybe do 3 miles on the flat easy, but uphill/downhill is harder. I cannot do Rattlesnake Lake to the top for example. I should be renting a car too.
And If I drive to the Salton Sea, where should I go exactly?
Fast suggestions please! Passerines, Pelagics, OWLS for sure (but I can't get on a boat - too bumpy).
Thanks so much.
An excited Nadine
(I normally cannot fly or leave the PNW)
