Much of San Diego’s bird diversity is due to the diversity of its habitats, and this trip will explore many of those unique to the southeastern region of the county.

This popular trip is a whirlwind tour of San Diego County's hottest birding spots to list 100 species.

Torrey Pines State Reserve is one of the crown jewels of the California State park system. In one area, guests will be able to search for birds in habitats as diverse as pelagic, beach, sandstone cliff, coastal lagoon, pine woodland, and chaparral.

This trip will cover a broad transect of San Diego County from the mountains to the coast, allowing birders to sample a broad diversity of southern California species in one day.
