Juvenile Swainson's Hawks

21 Aug 2011 166
SO highly cropped and therefore terrible quality, but I did want a reminder to myself of this very noisy pair of juvenile Swainson's Hawks that I pulled over for yesterday afternoon. After a few hours with four other people, botanizing Brown-Lowery Provincial Park, I drove home via one or two gravel backroads. One of the adults was flying overhead and landed in a tree ahead of me and when I stopped to take a look, I heard the loud commotion coming from atop a hay bale out in the middle of a huge field. Love the beautiful patterns of their feathers.
