I'm happy to report that our young Swainson's Hawks have officially fledged as of August 4, 2026.
I've just uploaded a progression video of our young Swainson's Hawks from the first confirmed sighting in the nest on June 26, 2026 to yesterday's leap to fledge-dom (yes, I made that up).

OMG is it even possible to get a legitimate answer for anything on the internet anymore without the top results being "written" by AI and full of ads top to bottom?? And no, I'm not using google search.
I was trying to find an explanation for why a Swainson's hawk mother would bring fresh twigs with leaves (and what species it would be) to a nest when the babies are just days away from fledging.
I'm adding a photo I from my website if anyone might be able to identify what she has in her mouth.

Someone came into my back yard this morning uninvited, and killed a bird. Should I call the cops? The HOA? PETA?

I've been preoccupied lately. Our "baby" Swainson's Hawks are growing fast!
Here's some video I took today:

On The Road
While my wife and I were traveling north into Arkansas on Friday (10 May 2024), I spotted a hawk perched on a powerline along a road in the Ozark mountains. I pulled over and grabbed my camera. Later, one of my granddaughters asked what species it was — and looking at a tiny phone photo of a bird 50–100 yards away, I wasn’t sure. Now that I’m back home and can check it properly, it’s a red‑shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus).

Kite in the Blue
I spotted this Mississippi kite (Ictinia mississippiensis) circling overhead, and I’m pretty sure it spotted me right back. They’re relatively small raptors, built for high, effortless soaring, and this one seemed unusually interested in my backyard. Mississippi kites don’t typically go after other birds, but with all the anoles skittering around the house, it may have been scouting for a quick snack.

Hidden Hawk
Here’s a red‑tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) I spotted one morning while Charlie and I were out walking. The bird was part of a pair perched in a small stand of trees, doing their best to stay tucked away and unbothered. From a distance the scene looks great, but once you zoom in, the image starts to show its limits. I kept wishing I’d brought my big camera that morning — of course, that was the day I didn’t. I had a pretty powerful camera with me, just not the most powerful one in my arsenal.
We’ve gone back that way a few times since, camera in hand, hoping to catch them again. No luck so far. Some birds give you one chance and then vanish into the trees like they were never there at all.

Searching for Death
This turkey vulture (Cathartes aura) rose out of the forest this morning (4 May 2024), beginning its slow ascent into the sky to start its relentless search for food. It passed to my east, giving me just enough time to raise my camera and capture a few shots. This image shows the vulture’s face more clearly than any other in‑flight photo I’ve taken.
