Presa Paso de Tablas

I went to Paso de Tablas last week - a very hot walk through some rugged terrain.  It was definitely worth the effort, though.  I've copied the list below.  The best birds out of that lot were Pyrrhuloxia (pictured), Black-chinned Sparrows and the 6 Green-tailed Towhees (definitely points to an influx),

Pyrrhuloxia (the Desert Cardinal)
It's a good spot, and has the potential to throw up some rarities (e.g. Wood Duck reported here).  Recommend taking lots of suncream and water, though.  And watch out for angry bulls.
