Subject: [southbaybirds] Swainson's Hawk continues at Casa de Fruta
Hi Everyone!

Today I need to be off my feet so my son and I drove down to Casa de Fruta
in hopes of the Swainson's Hawk that had been reported earlier. After
birding around the buildings and gardens and keeping an eye out for raptors
from the road, we finally were rewarded at about 10:40 with one *Swainson's
Hawk *flying over the freeway. Other birds of interest were a couple
of *Western
Kingbirds* at the east end of the road, I think one was a juvenile. On the
way home, we stopped at San Felipe Rd to see the pair of *Cassin's
Kingbirds*.

Happy birding!
