Birds of Anza-Borrego          
 
More than 300 species of birds have been recorded in the Anza-Borrego region.  Many of these birds, like the Swainson's Hawk, are here only briefly each year, during their seasonal migration.  But Anza-Borrego's wide range of elevations, from close to sea level in the east to 6,200 feet in the mountain peaks, has created a great diversity of habitat.   The photo gallery does not include all of these species, but it does show many of the more common ones, along with the wide variety of birds that live here.  View Big Year Borrego Birding list.

Some birding hotspots worth visiting include Lower Willows in Coyote Canyon, Yaqui Well, Vallecito, Agua Caliente, Mountain Palm Springs, Bow Willow Canyon, Palm Canyon near Borrego Springs, and Carrizo Marsh.
