During the monthly San Dieguito bird count, Steve Perry and I confirmed the continuing presence of a Pacific Golden plover in the lagoon at the mouth of the San Dieguito river in Del Mar. We were lucky to find it during this morning’s very high tide on the tiny sand bank between the Highway and the train bridge. We identified 76 different species on the “coast” section of the survey, with the PGPL being the most noteworthy. A full list should follow from the San Dieguito Monthly Bird Count organizers.
