Normally, Swainson's Hawks migrate in late August and early September south to Mexico and some fly as far as South America. When I was at the Sacramento International Airport recently, I spotted this juvenile Swainson's Hawk flying off to a nearby field at sunset. Maybe a few stay here for the winter?
I know the picture of the Red Shouldered Hawk is hard to see but I love how the bird came out as it was flying from tree to tree on the American River Parkway. Such a beautiful bird!
