		<description><![CDATA[&#160; This morning in an effort to fulfill an admittedly arbitrary birding goal &#8211; 28 new life-list birds in the month of February &#8211; I drove up to the Ramona Grasslands Preserve in hopes of seeing a few birds I hadn&#8217;t yet seen. Though about 10 years ago, I lived 3 years in Ramona, not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sitting here listening to Phil Spector&#8217;s amazing Christmas album, accented by our first good rain in a while, and realizing I haven&#8217;t been out on a good hike in quite a while. A good, proper, trekking poles, water bladder, and profuse-sweating hike anyway. I have been out, walking in dirt, but mostly at a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[San Diego County is in a long-standing, see-saw battle with Los Angeles County for the most bird species spotted in the United States. We have so many different habitats, and happen to be in a great position for migratory stop-overs, that we are blessed with an amazing array of bird species. Many are year-round residents, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News broke yesterday that California State Parks has a &#8220;secret&#8221; fund amounting to over 50 million dollars. This when 70 parks had been threatened with closure in order to save twenty-two million dollars. This lead to the resignation of Parks Director Ruth Coleman, and the firing of her lieutenant, Michael Harris.  In fairness to these [...]]]></description>

Coming up in September, a real solid, educational, and well-trained organization, is getting ready to train new volunteers.

Obviously flowers are in bloom, and San Diego County&#8217;s variety of terrain and ecological zones provides an amazing number of plant species to explore. In addition, birds are migrating through the county, and birders can see migratory species not normally spotted in San Diego. This [...]]]></description>

All campgrounds at Palomar Mountain State Park, and previously closed, Green Valley Campground, at Cuyamaca Rancho State Park are now open, and taking reservations through Reserve America.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve debated, over the years, writing an entry about Upper Otay Lake. One reason is it&#8217;s not a real long hike, only a couple of miles if you do a loop around the lake, another reason is suburban Chula Vista is creeping closer to lake, and the hills to the west of the lake are [...]]]></description>

Since then, the situation became a little more urgent, and the focus of FPMSP evolved. The imminent closing of the park, and losing [...]]]></description>
