Birding the Tijuana River Slough/Estuary/Lagoon. OVER 70 SPECIES. December, 2020

This month (December 2020) on The Birding Voyage we explore the Tijuana River Slough, Estuary & Lagoon. I walked over 10 miles and visited 5 different locations: The Bird & Butterfly Garden, The Slough, The Pond on Dairy Mart Rd., The Estuary & The Lagoon/Beach area. I saw over 70 species and had an amazing time. What a great place to visit!
