Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Swainson's Hawks in Borrego Springs
Today, 35 Swainson's Hawks migrated. This evening at 6:45 p.m., around 75
Swainson's Hawks descended into trees in the date farm on Borrego Valley
Road. With light wind tomorrow, the hawks will probably begin to kettle up
between 8 and 9am. Apparently, flying insects (craneflies and dragonflies)
are now available as a food resource. Viewing is probably best from the
evening watch site on Borrego Valley Road, 1.8 miles north of Palm Canyon
Drive. For more information about the hawks' location, check with the
leader at the day count site, 2.8 miles north of Palm Canyon Drive on
DiGiorgio Rd.
