Just south of here, a BLACK SCOTER was visible from Dockweiler State Beach on
March 26. The bird was best viewed from near lifeguard platform #58 below the
Hyperion parking lot. This lot is between Imperial Highway and Grand.
SWAINSON’S HAWKS continue to be seen moving north. A flock of 18 birds was over
Santa Anita Canyon in Arcadia on March 26.
First of spring BLACK-CHINNED HUMMINGBIRDS (in Arcadia onMarch 26) and CALLIOPE
