Subject: [SanDiegoRegionBirding] Swainson's Hawks in Borrego Springs
Today 85 Swainson's Hawks migrated. Several kettles of hawks were observed.
This evening (Monday March 16) we had a late arrival of around 15 to 20
hawks. They may have touched down south of the date farm. Best viewing may
be around 1 mile north of Palm Canyon Drive on Borrego Valley Rd. A hawk
captured last spring and fitted with a radio transmitter is only a few
hundred miles south of Borrego Springs. "Betsy" may arrive along with many
other hawks either tomorrow or Wednesday evening. Will hopefully will find
her among other hawks. Betsy has travelled a great distance from
Argentina-over 4,000 miles!
