Greetings Birders,
Franc and I headed over to Imperial County yesterday (9 Feb) to see if we could photograph the Cave Swallows at the Earthrise Algae Farm east of Calipatria.
We found at least 6 of the Cave Swallows were still enjoying the bugs there, along with a newly arrived Cliff Swallow, two Bank Swallows, two Tree Swallows, and a swarm of Barn Swallows.
If you're in the area, the Calipatria State Prison Pond is just a mile to the east, and is currently hosting 12 species of waterfowl, including all three species of teal.

Good Birding!Henry D. <Detwilerhenry_detwiler...>, AZ
