There are two in the hawk family in Prescott Az I’ve been following and posting images of here. One juvenile is doing well, flying about. This one is seems to be doing less well. It has more juvenile looking feathers, is smaller, and is not flying as well. Tuesday evening when I took these it appeared to be “stuck” on the ground. Perhaps it will do better, I hope so.

The Swainson’s hawk pair that nest near my home in Prescott, Az have 2 youngsters this year. They are out of the nest, not flying much yet.

UPDATE: I mis-ID’d the first bird as a female summer tanager. It’s a male yellow warbler. The colors and size are similar, the beak is different. Oops 🙂
