The Swainsons hawk couple that are nesting near our house have produced a pair of juveniles that are now out of the nest and flying short distances. Here they are in a tree about 100 feet from the tree where their nest is located.
I don’t think they are hunting with their parents yet, that will come soon.

And another of him in flight.
