Nemesis Bird
8:40 am
I’ve been birding in SoCal since the late 1980s. I have 341 species on my CA list but I do not have Ridgeways Rail!! I have gone to San Elijo Lagoon and San Diego River mudflats numerous times. I have even played the call on Merlin.
This bird shows up on my eBird Needs List every day! At this point I feel like eBird is trolling me and the bird is a mythical creature.
IF you have ticked this bird recently, please reply with SPECIFICS. For instance, San Elijo is a big place. Where exactly should I focus my attention?
I play to drive down to Tijuana Slough tomorrow as it has been reported there a lot lately, too.
I’d rather finally get this local resident bird on my life list than chase some rarity.
tips and encouragement please!
