This was selected as a hotspot because it's an excellent location for observing the spring spectacle of migrating vultures lifting off on March mornings. Occasional Zone-tailed and Common Black hawks accompany them. During fall migration smaller numbers of vultures arrive in the afternoon. There are concrete benches available but a portable chair is helpful for longer sessions. A spotting scope can help to identify distant raptors. At other times it provides access to the paved multi-use path that is very popular with bicyclists, dog walkers and pedestrians. Typical birds of a usually dry desert wash are present. Purple Martins use the high power lines in the fall.

This hotspot is intended for use for birding along the path, within a half mile or so of the named location. Longer walks can be placed in personal locations mapped near the midpoint of the birder's route.
