I about a week my wife and I will be traveling from San Diego up the coast to L.A. for a day, then over to the Palm Dessert / Palm Springs area and down to the Salton Sea before returning to San Diego. If you have any suggestions on 'Birding Hot Spots' along that itinerary I would love to hear from you off-list.
