In early March of this year, I took a trip to San Felipe, Baja California. Traveling to San Felipe, the borders were still open for travel. Coming home, it had been announced that the borders were closing to non-essential travel, and that southern California (and most of the country) was in lockdown. What a long time ago that seems!
I came down with a cold during the trip (a regular cold?) so stayed inside most of the time, but did get out for a little birding, away from others!
