This morning a group of us found, photographed, and recorded a Yellow-billed Cuckoo at the crossing. List on eBird is here:

More photos and recording (if loud enough) will be added shortly.

Before going, Trent Stanley did some research and found that a CDFW Lands Pass (1-Day) is needed to enter the San Felipe Valley Wildlife Area. It's only $4.89, which might be worthwhile to avoid any fines in case you run into a CDFW officer. People with a CDFW trapping license or hunting and fishing licenses are exempt.

Temperatures are rising, with Wednesday and Thursday being the coolest days next week.
