Southern California's warm weather and primo location on the Pacific Flyway, makes it one of the top bird-watching areas in the country. This is especially true in January when you can catch both permanent residents and out-of-town birds mingling--with over 100 easy-to-spot species (and hundreds more that require patience and luck). The habitats are as varied as the birds, ranging from coastal lowlands to inland valleys to deserts and the especially bird-friendly bizarro world of the Salton Sea.

A note about Trazzler's slideshows: we don't do top-tens or best-of lists. Nor are we so morbid or presumptuous as to tell you where you must go before you shuffle off this mortal coil. The world is far too big and fascinating to encapsulate in any kind of definitive list. We simply chose the places that our writers have contributed that make us think, laugh, dream, and plot our next escape. Trazzler is also committed to easy-to-plan, smart local travel. Each week, we work to find the best weekend travel deals near you. Visit trazzler.com to plot your next escape and let us know what you think.--Megan Cytron, Editor of Trazzler
