I spent part of Saturday 13 May 2023 (5:45 AM to 1:30 PM) looking for birds along part of the south shore of the Salton Sea and at a few select locations in the Imperial Valley. I started the day at the west end of Young Road then drove directly to the IID Wetlands near Niland. After looking at the IID Wetlands I drove the short distance north into Niland. In Niland I birded north along International Avenue, west along 4 th Street and south along Luna Street. From Niland I drove southwest to the Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge HQ on Pound, Davis, Schrimpf, Garst and Sinclair Roads, stopping to look at the Hunt Club on Pound Road and the east end of Morton Bay on the way. At the Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge HQ I only looked around the entrance parking area. I then drove southwestward to Obsidian Butte and along the seawall to the west end of Young Road. From the west end of Young Road I drove southeastward through Calipatria into Brawley. In Brawley I looked at Riverview Cemetery, the hummingbird feeders on Willard Avenue and at Cattle Call Park. From Brawley I drove south along Dogwood Road to Evergreen Cemetery in El Centro stopping at the flooded area adjacent to Neckel Road on the way. From El Centro I drove west towards San Diego, ending the day looking at the Rio Bend Golf Course, Sunbeam Lake and Fig Lagoon. Clear with wind in the early afternoon, and with temperatures ranging from 65 to 105 degrees.
