Sometimes there are walks with SD Audubon. There is one
this Saturday, 1/28, at South Bay (Silver Strand), and one on Saturday,
2/4, at Pamo Valley (near Ramona). There is a pelagic trip on Saturday
(0600) and whale watching trips where you can also see sea birds. Let me
know if you want details. SD rare bird alert number is (619) 435-6761
(recording), service of SD Field Ornithologists; and they can also give
additional information at 435-5563 (8 am to 8 pm). For a preview, you
might want to call the recorded number for the current sightings.
