I will digress a bit today. A trip to the Salton Sea on January 4, 2013 was one of the best experiences I've ever had at the sea. Lacking 3 of the common species at 2:30PM was an embarrassment. We had only a few minutes left for chasing birds. Finally found Cattle Egrets before turning west on Walker Road. At Walker and Forrester Rd's we found Long-billed Curlews, White-faced Ibis and a bonus, over 200 Mountain Plovers. All in all, a great day.
