Birding in a Golden State of Mind

01/16/20 • 59 min

Oh San Diego... the sun, the surf, the birds. It's really a great break from the dreary, Pacific Northwest winter. Hannah and Erik explore a few of the best hotspots in the county including: Cabrillo National Monument, Tecolote Canyon, and Mission Bay. And then head up to Disneyland and find some of the happiest birds on earth!
BTW, we forgot to mention which city had the most listeners for the last episode...so shout out to the listeners in Warrenton, Oregon! Thank you all for tuning in!
