We had a last look at Salton Sea for a recent Roseate Spoonbill but didn't manage to see it however we had yet more excellent views of the many wintering ducks and waders of the area.
Before we left the Brawley area we had another look for Sprague's Pipit and thankfully we had some great views of a single bird, no photos unfortunately.
While travelling to Arizona James spotted a Crested Caracara by the roadside. This was one we had counted on seeing in California.
Further down along the road we made a short detour near Yuma where there had been recent reports of high counts of Ferruginous Hawks. To date we had only seen a single distant bird so it was great to get closer views of several light and dark birds.
We finally entered Arizona by the end of the day and stayed in the rather unimpressive Casa Grande for a single night.
