Border BioBlitz 2025
Join us at the Tijuana Estuary in the most southwestern part of the United States for a bilingual (English/Spanish) birding hike! This flat trail takes you through the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, along the Imperial Beach coastline with the Mexican border in the background. Encounter native wildlife and plants in this unique and endangered ecosystem.
During this event, we will be supporting the Border BioBlitz 2025! The Border BioBlitz is a community science effort to record as many species as possible along the U.S.-Mexico border. Living Coast staff will use the iNaturalist app to contribute to the project. To sign up for the project or learn more, visit their website here:
