Ethan and Ingrid's 2024 Big Year (Week 36)
A recap of the 36th week of our 48 State Big Year (2024). We travel to San Diego for one of our more successful pelagic trips of our lives. We also make a trip to the ecologically troubling Salton Sea. In between Los Angeles, San Diego and the Imperial Valley we make numerous stops to pick up a bird here and another bird there as we struggle to keep our year list growing.
To make this week even more challenging . . . Southern California was hit by an historic heat wave where we found ourselves birding in 113 degree heat.
