Thanks for responding SteveS but I'm back home. I didn't end up camping at the Salton Sea but I did go out for a day trip yesterday and had a great time. Just FYI, there is and has been some recent camping at the end of Poe Rd. so it would have worked out OK. That is a great location for shorebirds,...

Hi all, I'm heading to SoCal for Xmas and would like to take a day or so to do some birding at the south end of the Salton Sea.

That's an impressive collection. Just wondering...do you change out specimens? That is...do you replace an older one with a younger one you might come across and would that even be practical?

Last week I got a chance to raft Desolation Canyon on the Green River in Utah. It's about an 85 mile trip with nearly 60 rapids along the way ranging from riffles to Class III+. We hit the weather just about right, beautiful sunny days, no bugs with just a bit of rain on the last morning. Here are a...
