Murray 1948 29 Apr 21 Aqua Hedcicera, 32° 30'N 116° 16'W, Baja California Heard several coyotes barking last night, probably three, from different directions The spring is a mecca for birds. Saw a Scott Oriole, Western tanager, ash throated flycatcher, California jay, Pileolated warbler caly pair of quail and numerous doves. A horned lark rummaged in the grass nearby. Heard a Swainson's thrush, several wren-tits, and last night bideens. After lunch started again on our way. The road down the mountain has been pretty rough in places, but satisfactory going. Now it is somewhat better. The terrain has been varied, passing through foot hills usually rocky, with different combinations of both cledestomas, sage brush and down lower live oaks, elderberry and other chaparral covers, typical of a lot of southern California. The down grade was still gradual. Entered ranch country and from there on in the road was very good. The highway from tecate to Tijuana is being improved, and about halfway on is paved. There is good asphalt on down to Ensenada. We arrived there this evening and camped just outside of town on the shore.
