The Swainson’s hawk youngster is getting bigger. Here are two photos of mom and baby. And one of mom bring a squirrel to the nest – not a great image but you can see the squirrel’s tail hanging below the hawk.

Swainson’s hawk eating a mouse or maybe a ground squirrel. These raptors are primarily insectivores but they will eat rodents and other small mammals.

Osprey fishing at Goldwater Lake in Prescott, Az. It dived into the water after a fish, but did not catch it. Water drops scattered everywhere.
There were 2 ospreys fishing for a couple of hours. I got more osprey photos than I ever did.
Shot with Nikon D850, Nikkor 500mm PF, 1/1600th, f/6.3 hand held.
