I just added my first "shorts" video to my YouTube channel. A shorter version of our local Swainson's hawks. I'm on the fence about shorts in general but what the heck:

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

Really excited about our first baby Swainson's Hawk sighting this year!

We stumbled upon the nest site by accident - a different (but not that far removed) location than previous years. This photo is going to be my fav for a long time.

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:
