Hotspots for eBird bar charts September 8 – 14

Greetings,

Apologies for the delay and thanks to the person who nudged me – sending this out had slipped my mind last night.

We saw good coverage last week, as usual! With only some of the more remote and farther from completion spots missed. One more hotspot (La Bajada) is now 100% complete!

This week we can complete two more hotspots!

Note that temperatures in the desert remain high, though not quite as high as past weeks. Still, please be careful if venturing out there. There is currently an excessive heat advisory, but temps should decrease toward the weekend, with next week hopefully being ~10 degrees lower in Borrego.

If you’re just joining us, please see this message for an explanation of these weekly hotspot lists: https://groups.io/g/SanDiegoRegionBirding/topic/hotspots_for_ebird_bar_charts/119585667
