Hi, I’m Lisa – amateur bird photographer, avid admirer of and creator of Project Hawk.
My commitment of recording our neighbourhood Swainson’s hawks began in 2017 with that first encounter in the middle of our street. My “records” in the beginning were on scraps of paper, sticky notes with obscure notations and the odd blurb in random apps. In August of 2023, I compiled and organized said records to create this online project.
Overall, it still needs some tweaking here and there but for the most part, Project Hawk is a real life representation of generations of this raptor family – from my perspective and camera. Unless otherwise specified, all documentation, images and videos on this site are © Copyright 2003-2024 Lisa Miguez.
If you’re a bird lover (or even if you’re not!) follow along as I share the story of our local Buteo swainsoni through writing, art, photos, videos and music. This is my passion project. A labour of love. An obsession. All of the above.
Project Hawk is an evolving idea and I’m sure you will love what is yet to come!
