San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary

I discovered a new spot yesterday. (Well, more accurately, I went to a well-known hotspot for the first time).

I am taking a class at UC Irvine, which abuts the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary. Since my class ends during rush-hour, I'll probably bird there the next eight Wednesday evenings.

Yesterday I saw a pair of Wood Ducks for the first time. Lots of shorebirds and teal, and a couple of osprey were fun to watch.

  1. Kev, is SJWS close or related to SJWA? I'd like you to take me to these spots sometime, which might be tough if you guys are moving soon to San Bern.

    Its getting birdy around our parts

  2. SJWA is near us in Riverside. That's my favorite place to bird, especially in the Winter.

    SJWS is the place in Orange County. I actually went there again today (White Pelicans, Gadwall, 3 Teal Species, Ibis... good stuff).

    I will make you flashcards.
