Birding the Pacific Crest Trail

I began birding the PCT last year while my husband is section hiking. Every couple of months we travel west. He hikes while I take advantage of the time to bird. I started at the Mexican Border and I have ended at Idyllwild, until we go back. I have taken side trips to San Diego and the Tijuana River Mouth, and visited many of Southern California's lakes. I have seen so many areas of California that I didn't know existed. It truly is a beautiful area. I have added quite a few new life birds during these trips. Such as the Red-breasted Sapsucker, Oak Titmouse, Little Blue Heron, California Quail, Wild Turkey, Common Poorwill, Nuttall's Woodpecker, Lawrence's Goldfinch and American Redstart. Once the snow and storms ease up, we will pick up at Mount Jacinto .
