March 3,4, 2017-Hawks Are Trickling Through and Feeding

Leader:
March 3-Rose
March 4-Rose

Migration:
March 3-3 Swainson's Hawks
March 4-17 Swainson's Hawks

Discussion:
Today, March 4, hawks were aerial feeding on flying ants. They spent more than an hour very close to the alternative count site on Di Giorgio Rd just south of Henderson Canyon Rd.

Evening Watch:
At least 37 Swainson's Hawks flew low to the Date Farm area. They may have been feeding in fields, although no caterpillars have been observed yet. Flowers are increasing in numbers and we expect caterpillars soon.

Prediction:
Unfortunately high wind is predicted early tomorrow so lift-off could be just after sunup.
