#swainsonshawk — Public Fediverse posts

Had a great experience with our local Swainson's hawks this morning. Was definitely worth delaying that second cup of coffee!

Excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about your car’s extended warranty? Sir!?

First shot of one of our returning neighbourhood Swainson's hawks. I have yet to confirm if this is the same male as last year... stay tuned for that!

Just a reminder that I have an online record of this family of raptors dating back to 2003. You can see 2024's additions here:

A Western meadowlark (a rarity in Brooklyn), a Swainson's hawk (another vagrant) and a red-tailed hawk, and a house wren (unusual for winter in Brooklyn), at Brooklyn's Bush Terminal Park and 29th St. Recycling Center.

This is a juvenile #SwainsonsHawk who came into care earlier this year. He injured an eye when he fell from his nest. His juvenile feathers are beautiful, and if you look closely at the feather patterns on his legs, you can see they look like the silhouette of tiny birds flying. 🤎🪶
