Today, Wednesday April 3, 145 Swainson's Hawks migrated north. This evening around 75 Swainson's Hawks were observed coming in to perch on Tamarisk Trees along Borrego Valley Rd near Henderson Canyon Rd. Tomorrow with some wind, they may drop into fields east of Borrego Valley Rd and south of Henderson Canyon Rd (the potato fields) to eat grasshoppers. Or they may migrate early. Food available in the valley (grasshoppers, caterpillars, flying ants and craneflies} may attract more Swainson's Hawks over the next few weeks. Hal Cohen Borrego Springs
