While co-leading a trip for the San Diego Bird Festival we
found a Lesser Yellowlegs, which was my only add for the day.
On this trip, Birding 100, we found 127
species, which is a decent number of birds and close to a record day for the
festival.
I met lots of nice people and
we got the festival off on a great start.

San Diego Bird Festival Pelagic Trips were a great success with lots of fantastic birds, including a Manx Shearwater that I spotted coming across the stern of the boat. It cooperated nicely for almost everyone onboard as it turned and went along the starboard side of the boat. We did have multiple whale and plenty of dolphins too boot. I didn't add any new birds for my personal year list, but I was on a boat for two straight days enjoying the sights none the less.

Co-leading another trip for the San Diego Bird Festival (for
the fourth of 5 straight days) I spent some time in the mountains.
Mountain Quail were heard all over the place
but not seen as is par for the course with this
Rufous-crowned Sparrow was also an addition
for the year.
Plenty of other nice birds
for the attendees including Harris’s Hawk and Bell’s subspecies of Sage Sparrow
but nothing else new for me.
elusive species.
