I spent Saturday 6 May 2023 (5:45 AM to 3:45 PM) with Brian E Daniels looking for birds along part of the south shore of the Salton Sea and at a few select locations in the Imperial Valley. We started the day at Fig Lagoon and the Rio Bend Golf Course, then drove north into Brawley. In Brawley we only looked at Riverview Cemetery. We then continued north to Ramer Lake. After looking at Ramer Lake, we drove northwestward to the Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge HQ. At the Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge HQ we only looked around the entrance parking area. We then drove southwestward along the seawall to the west end of Young Road. From the west end of Young Road Brian E Daniels headed north and I drove southeastward through Calipatria and Brawley to the southeast corner of El Centro, stopping at the flooded area adjacent to Neckel Road on the way. After spending time near the southeast corner of El Centro (good variety of migrant passerines), I then drove west to San Diego, stopping to look at the Rio Bend Golf Course, Sunbeam Lake and Fig Lagoon on the way. Mostly clear with no wind, and with temperatures ranging from 55 to 80 degrees.
