Borrego Hawkwatch January 18, 2012-First TV's of the year

The first Turkey Vultures of the migration season were spotted moving northwest through Borrego Valley today.  They were observed roosting on telephone posts on Palm Canyon Drive. By the end of January kettles of TV's will make their way through the valley. We are fortunate to have dependable spotters living at the Roadrunner Mobile Park and campers at The Springs RV Park. I will often get calls with the location of roosting sites. Swainson's Hawks are on the way as well. They often migrate with the TV's. We anxiously await the SW's.

Keep Watching,
