Ahhhh…SoCal. The sun, surf, beer, and parakeets?!  Hannah and Erik head back to Southern California for the San Diego Bird Festival where they bike around Mission Bay, do a few Women Who Bird Socials, and then head out to the desert for a few lifers.  Not only is it a fun and intimate festival, there is lots to see and do, put this festival on your birding bucket list! Show notesMcMenamins Brewery Amplified Ale Works Modern Times Brewery Salton Sea Wiki Anza-Borrego Desert SP Karl Strauss BreweryeBird hotspotsTijuana Slough National Wildlife Refuge Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge Visitor’s Center Salton Sea Rock Hill Trail (featuring a “fantastic” photo of the Black-tailed Gnatcatcher) Anza-Borrego State Park – Tamarisk Grove CampgroundIntro Bird Call: Gambel's Quail and Eurasian Collared-DoveOutro Bird Call: House SparrowConnect with us at...IG: @Hannahgoesbirding and @Erikgoesbirding Twitter: @WeGoBirding Facebook: @HannahandErikGoBirding Email us at HannahandErikGoBirding@gmail.com Website: http://www.gobirdingpodcast.com
