My safari group had a lot of fun
in San Diego on past safaris. Not only did we get awesome Wood Ducks, Brandt's
Cormorants on nests with eggs and young, Peregrine Falcons, White-tailed Kites,
rushing Western Grebes, and breeding season Brown Pelicans, but many other duck species, raptors, wading
birds, striped skunks, coyotes, and a long-tailed weasel. We also photographed
California Sea Lions and Northern Harbor Seals. We went from one great encounter
to another. However, my personal favorite is the rushing Western Grebes at Lake Hodges. This safari is limited to 6
folks.
Reservations
We meet in Escondido, CA the night before.. The weather
can change so dress in layers, though we should have cool mornings and warmer
afternoons. There will be a sea breeze and marine layer possible along the
coast. A hat is essential. We visit a number of locations, including
the La Jolla cliffs, La Jolla Cove, Lake Hodges, Santee Lakes, Santee Riparian
Trails, San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, and finish up the safari at San
Jacinto Wildlife Management Area.
Difficulty Level: EASY
