Geese Over the Salton Sea
ANZA-BORREGO SOUTH : BIRDING
Good birding often starts with a look at the earthquake faults. Earthquake
faults can mean springs, and springs can mean birds. In the Tierra Blanca
Mountains, water also can mean insects, and the birds who feed on them.
Look for birding opportunities in:
Agua Caliente County Park —
Bow Willow —
Canebrake Canyon —
Indian Valley —
Mountain Palm Springs —
East of the mountains, the courses of Vallecito Creek and Carrizo Creek
support large stands of mesquite. A place to check is Carrizo Marsh
in 4-wheel drive country about 7 miles east of County Road S-2
For information on Agua Caliente, Bow Willow, Canebrake Canyon, Carrizo
Marsh, Indian Valley, and Mountain Palm Springs,

Anza-Borrego Desert by Barbara W. Massey.
