Marston Canyon, San Diego

We went to Solana Beach to see JD McPherson at the Belly Up Tavern. The next morning, we went to a birding hotspot near Balboa Park. Here are a few photos of the best birds we saw.


Hermit Warbler

Lazuli Bunting


Western Tanager

Hooded orioles

We are glad to see this pair in our yard.

Blue Grosbeak

Not bad for a backyard bird. We also had a Nashville warbler, but he was too fast to photograph.
