Winged Wonders of the Salton Sea
The Salton Sea is one of the most
important stops for birds traveling the
Pacific Flyway. Tens of thousands of
birds begin arriving in late September.
Birds that overwinter at the Sea will
depart by May, but some will remain
to brave the hot summer and nest at
the sea. Because of this, visiting the
Salton Sea at any time of year is a
birdwatcher’s delight. Follow up the
talk with an all-day journey in January
to see the Salton Sea and all of its
wonders!
