My 5th consecutive year of documenting a family of Swainson’s hawks.
This is their story (and mine) through my lens.
Just enjoying the experience of watching these curious young raptors do their thing.
Managed to capture the three of them feeding in the grass together.
“Do you think birds sometimes fly…
for the fun of it?“
Papa was keeping a close eye on me.
Sightings are getting fewer and farther between. Until next year…
Project Hawk is not a scientific journal. However, I am fully aware that once the birds have left the nest, they aren’t “babies” anymore – they would more accurately be called fledglings & juveniles. I use baby/babies/young ones/littles/juveniles interchangeably throughout Project Hawk when referring to the offspring of Mama & Papa Swainson’s hawks
