My summer Swainson's hawks
A pair of Swainson's hawks live not far from my house in northeastern Colorado, and I was delighted to find their nest in early July with two youngsters. They were fairly well hidden among the foliage, but it also made it easier for me to be hidden from the parents! Later toward the end of July, the family was out in the open. They migrate for the winter, but I'm hoping they will be back next summer.
