Some Swainson’s hawk photos. A rare (for my area) light morph bird, and one “hawking” on a light fixture at the Prescott High School baseball field.

Swainson’s hawk carrying nest building material. The bird was about 15 feet over my head, I could not fit him into the frame. One of my best Swainson’s hawk photos!
Taken in Prescott, Az

The Swanson’s hawk pair is back in Prescott and are on the nest. I’m glad they returned and are doing OK.

The Swainson’s hawk pair I’ve been watching in Prescott, Az have a youngster! I spotted it this morning. This photo is not great, but you can see the hatchling.
