Birds -- Southern California Desert, January 2008

I spent January 15-18 in the desert, as the third and final leg of a bird photography trip to southern California. I stayed at Casa del Zorro near Borrego Springs, and photographed at Yaqui Well, around the Palm Canyon trail head, and on the Zorro grounds in Borrego, and spent the afternoon of 17th and morning of the 18th at and around the Salton Sea NWR, getting most of my birds at the NWR headquarters.
