Geocache Description:

A micro small cache near a wetland preserve with lots of Red-winged
Blackbirds

Blackbird Fly



If you see an area of reeds or cattails, and wait long enough, it
seems you will always see a Red-winged Blackbird. This protected
marsh area at Alicante and Poinsettia doesn’t disappoint. It has a
nice population of these beautiful birds and a convenient spot to
view them. There is a $1,000 fine for trespassing in this protected
area. You don’t need to enter it to find the cache. Viewing the
birds is a nice cover as you stealth around seeking the cache. This
could be a park and grab, but be careful. People drive down
Alicante in a hurry and the road is narrow. I walked to the site
from La Costa which I found much more pleasant.

This is a small cache with a log and pencil and some room for
small coins and small TBs. Please don’t use the limited space for
other swag. There is a FTF GeoCoin for the FTF and a couple of
other TBs. Enjoy the hunt and enjoy the birds.
