There is a thriving bird watching, or 'birding' scene in San Diego County. Here's how to get involved, and where to go to see some of the more then 500 recorded species of birds.
The San Diego River estuary is an “Important Bird Area” designated by the National Audubon Society, meaning it is globally important for the conservation of bird populations. This area is a great location to observe waterbirds, including ducks and geese, shorebirds, terns, cormorants, and wading birds, such as herons.One of the best spots to see lots of birds is the flood control channel at the mouth of the San Diego River.
Philip Unitt is the chair of ornithology and curator of the Department of Birds and Mammals at the San Diego Natural History Museum. He is also the author of “The San Diego County Bird Atlas” and other birding publications and is editor of “Western Birds.”
