Swainson's Hawk

Swainson's Hawk
I spent all morning walking at Strathcone Park Ravine and then on the way home I did a long walk all afternoon in Weaselhead Natural Area. This morning, we were lucky enough to see a Great Horned Owl being harrassed by a group of Crows. Then, just as I started my second walk, there were two Bald Eagles circling high overhead. As I walked along by the river, I noticed a beautiful Osprey perched in a tree on the far bank. Then, just as I started leaving the parking lot later, this Swainson's Hawk flew and landed on a light pole. I brought my car to a stop in the middle of the road near the pole and managed to get this quick shot before it flew away and a car was approaching behind me. So, as you can see, I've had a great Raptor day today : ). Lucky me!
