Swainson’s Hawk Hunting Foray
Some Swainson’s Hawk Flight Postures I Like
It seems like each year there are a few bird species that I see far fewer of than I have in previous years. (4 photos)
A Pre-sunrise Swainson’s Hawk
Photographs, even bird photographs, are often much more meaningful to the photographer who took them than they are to the casual observer. Here’s an example, and the reason why.
Swainson’s Hawk Nestled In Sagebrush
My First Of Year Swainson’s Hawk And A Meadowlark Singing In The Cold
Swainson’s Hawk With A Vole
Mating Swainson’s Hawks Sequence
Five days ago I photographed an entire mating sequence of a pair of Swainson’s Hawks in Beaverhead County, Montana.
Intermediate Morph Swainson’s Hawk In Flight
I spent yesterday morning cruising the back roads of Utah’s west desert with the primary goal of finding and photographing raptors.
Intermediate-Morph Red-tailed Hawk And Juniper Berries
I’m no authority on the highly variable color variations of the Red-tailed Hawk but I believe this bird to be an intermediate-morph adult. I love these rufous-colored hawks.
Mating Swainson’s Hawks
Two days ago as I was photographing this dark morph Swainson’s Hawk on a power pole something completely unexpected happened and this time I was ready for it.
Dark Morph Swainson’s Hawk And More
This is the last in my four part series on the color morphs of the Swainson’s Hawk. Today the focus is on the dark morph.
Intermediate Morph Swainson’s Hawk
This is the third of my series of four posts on color morphs of the Swainson’s Hawk that I photographed on my last trip to Montana late last month. Todays bird is an intermediate morph.
The three morph categories are convenient to use but color variation of Swainson’s Hawks is almost continuous from darker to lighter individuals so the morph categories are somewhat arbitrary. I sometimes struggle with feeling confident about which category a particular bird belongs in.
