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!

Very specific ask:

Anyone with knowledge of Indigenous bird names, specifically in Treaty 7 in so-called Alberta?

Swainson’s hawks in particular, all birds more broadly.

There's a movement to rename animal species from their "discoverer's" name to more practical/familiar names. Example: Swainson's hawks AKA Grasshopper hawks.

I'd like to use Indigenous bird names (like we do for cities, "Mohkinsstis").
