I got some new photos of the Swainson’s hawks that nest near our home in Prescott. The other day I saw one of these on our porch. They are insectivores, likely it was hunting for grasshoppers or cicadas which are very numerous at this time of the year.

Here’s the pair together in a tree

Jay’s Bird Barn in Prescott AZ, where I buy my bird feeding supplies, celebrated their 5th anniversary today. They brought in some birds of prey that were bred in captivity or injured and could not be returned to the wild. Here’s some images I got. Click on image for a larger view.
