Today (Monday, March 9), 17 Swainson's Hawks migrated along with 5 Turkey Vultures. This evening just before 7 p.m., around 50 Swainson's hawks descended into the area. Tomorrow with light wind, the hawks will be airborne between 8:00 and 9:30 a.m. They will either feed on flying ants and craneflies in the air, or grasshoppers and caterpillars on the ground. Or they will continue migrating northwest. Also, approximately 25 Turkey Vultures were observed. Drive to the day count site for information concerning the best location for viewing the hawks. The day count site is 2.8 miles north of Palm Canyon Drive on DiGiorgio Road. Hal Cohen Borrego Springs
