Swainson’s hawks congregate for a predictable meal during the summer months at the Jornada bat caves on Ted Turner’s Armendaris Ranch in New Mexico. These caves are the second largest lava tubes in North America and provide habitat for eight bat species. The migratory population of Mexican free-tailed bats at Jornada is the largest in New Mexico, and the fifth largest in North America. Like all Turner ranches, the Armendaris is a hot spot for biodiversity.
