Qué
Aguililla de Swainson (Buteo swainsoni)Observ.
nvhamlettDescripción
As I was entering the Johnson's pasture area of the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park, I spotted several raptors flying toward me from the east, and as I watched them, I saw they were part of a kettle of about 50 Swainson's Hawks flying to the west. A few stragglers flew right over my head, so I was able to snap a few photos even though I didn't have the right lens for taking bird pictures.
This is the same kettle reported in this observation, which was made just to the east of me only a minute or so before mine.

This plant was growing just inside the fence next to the N. Mills Avenue sidewalk leading to the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park. The flowers look like clover, but this was a large shrub with a woody base. I think this is Arabian Pea (Bituminaria bituminosa).
