Santee Lakes was untouched by the recent fires in San Diego. However, the hills to the north and west were thoroughly scorched. It might be my imagination, but there seems to be more of a variety of birdlife at the lakes then I have seen before at this time of year. In particular I have seen more birds that are more typical of the dry scrub brush and desert, like wrentits, white crowned sparrows and the phainopepla (Shown here). I suppose if you consider that the fire destroyed 300,000 acres of habitat, it should not be surprising to see some birds in unusual places.
