Raptor's of Fall

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!
