      Haha yeah. The way it looks kinda enthusiastic after Sara asks, "are you smart?" makes me laugh 😆

    The Tijuana River Estuary is one of the last remaining salt marshes in Southern California. It was previously the site of a city dump, and those wooden trestles supported sewage and storm drain pipes from the city of Imperial Beach, that emptied right into the estuary. In the 1970s and 80s a land developer tried to purchase the land, open it to the Pacific Ocean and dredge it for a luxury yacht club. A successful activist campaign prevented the marsh from being demolished. The remaining marsh land is now under protection of the US Fish & Wildlife, California State Parks, NOAA and the United States Navy. The navy has a large active military base 8 miles north and its airspace is busy with both military, civilian and commercial aircraft landing at nearby San Diego Airport. In order to remain mission ready the navy brings their helicopters, UAV Drones and other aircraft to Imperial Bach practice area .

    Another really wonderful video. I think the bird pictured at 7:14 is actually a female Bushtit rather than a Wrentit. The two can be very similar looking, especially if you don’t have the benefit of behavior and vocalizations to help distinguish them.

      I actually debated over that bird. You're right about Bushtit and I should have stuck with it! I remember hearing them. Foiled by a female again 😉
      Thanks for the comment 👍

    The helicopters fly around the Tijuana NWR almost every day from around 9:00 AM to dark. I assume they are on training missions for the navy from the neighboring base. I always make sure to visit there early in the morning to avoid that.

      Haha noted. I didn't actually think they were focused on me, but good to know the morning is a more peaceful time. Thanks for watching 👍

      Hey, thanks for watching. I looked up the trail, some pretty impressive views of the cliff faces from the beach.

    Border Patrol in the skies lol, they would be watching everyone and everything I wouldn’t live near there if was paid to.

      Haha. There's a few houses on the edge of the estuary which are close to being under the flight path. Must have good soundproofing!
