  1. When the world is upside down and backwards, our ‘leaders’ are literally trying to eliminate us and our neighbours betray us, birdwatching really is my happy place.

    My passion project Project Hawk, is part journal, photo album and historical record of a family of Swainson’s Hawks in Calgary, Alberta. 2026 is my 10th consecutive year of documenting this family in my almost literal backyard and I’m happy to report that our Matriarch Swainson’s Hawk has returned to the ‘hood!

    If you like Swainson’s Hawks or want to learn more as I learn more about them, have a look at my website:

  5. Seeking wisdom from anyone familiar with bird banding and experience with reporting a bird band number… more specifically, I would like to know if it’s possible to report a partial number?

    The backstory: I've been observing a family of Swainson’s hawks in our neighbourhood for the last 9 years. A new male replaced the patriarch in 2023. He is banded.

    Despite my best photographing efforts, I have only confirmed the last 5 digits of the number, plus one other digit for sure (but unsure of its position). He will surely be leaving soon on his epic migration to Argentina.

    I would love to know his story. Am I out of luck?

  10. I just uploaded a new YouTube shorts video of our local matriarch Swainson's hawk flying around. I was quite far away from her so the video isn't very clear. I also had to do some creative 'realigning' of the clips to make it a bit more watchable. Hope you like it!
