Nadine-

My husband & I just returned from Borrego Springs. Birding was slow, but we still saw plenty. The visitor center is very helpful. Salton Sea was wonderful! Try to get there.

> 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.
