INTRODUCTION
Join us in San Diego for some of the best birding and photography locations anywhere! Over 500 species of birds can be found year-round with many of them wintering in the mild climate San Diego County is known for. We will be visiting the most popular birding habitats for great opportunities to capture species like the colorful Wood Duck, elegant California Brown Pelican, nesting Brandt's Cormorants, dancing Western and Clark's Grebes and so much more. We'll have a chance to photograph raptors up close and personal, fishing Great Blue Herons, Lewis' Woodpeckers at work, the occasional eagle if we are lucky, gulls, turnstones and an extended variety of seabirds.
But that is not all! There is no end to capturing the gorgeous coastline with its picturesque waves crashing upon the rugged rocks at sunset or the fog over a tranquil lake at sunrise. We'll photograph at the historic Balboa Park. Constructed in 1915 with a mix of Mediterranean and Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture, Balboa Park hosted the Panama-California Exposition from 1915-1917. The beautiful Botanic Building is one of the largest wood lath structures in the world and has just been refurbished.
In addition, we'll photograph at the prominent, towering Pt Loma Lighthouse, visit the Birch Aquarium at Scripps with its 60+ aquarium habitats, view the current gallery showing at the Museum of Photographic Arts and hike along the cliffs of Torrey Pines State Natural Preserve. There is no end to great photography in San Diego County!
