California March 2011

I was attending the San Diego Bird Festival in California in March 2001 working for Opticron and was fortunate to get some biding done each day. Highlight of the trip was a full day birding in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Although more than two hours drive away it was still within the County of San Diego. How I wish I had taken my Canon EF 500mm f4. All images in this gallery taken with a 7D and EF300mm f4 IS USM and some with a 1.4x TC
