Land Bird Migration is in Full Swing This Month in San Diego County, with warblers and flycatchers among those most commonly seen. Warblers crawl along tree limbs and branches to dine on their favorite insects, while flycatchers, as the name suggests, catch their meals on the wing. Riparian areas such as the San Diego River through Mission Gorge and Marian Bear Park in San Clemente Canyon are favored by both birds and birdwatchers.
The Wildflower Bloom in San Diego’s Coastal Areas Continues. On north-facing slopes and in shady canyon bottoms, where the sun’s drying effects have not yet taken hold, look for native red monkey flower, blue-eyed grass, wild hyacinth, and nonnatives such as chrysanthemum and mustard. Irrigated freeway embankments, with showy African daises, blooming iceplant, and other forms of groomed landscaping, continue to exhibit brash coloration.
April’s Lowest Tides, dropping to -0.49 feet, are for early risers only: 4:42 am on Thursday the 25th, and 5:42 am on Friday the 26th. The highest tide for April (+5.94 feet) occurs at 10:30 pm on Thursday the 25th.
