This is a Swainson's Hawk. During spring migration, Swainson's Hawks roost for an evening in the trees of Borrego Springs, a community surrounded by the desert park. There is an organised Hawk watch each morning during the migration, to count the number of birds leaving. During peak migration in 2009 there were separate two days 1000+ hawks counted.
