Photo by BarrytheBirder
A fellow resident at Delmanor Retirement Residence in Aurora, Ontario, where I live, showed me a photo he took of the Swainson's Hawk I have written about and published several photos of, in my last two blogs. But his photo shows that the hawk has returned from Florida (probably) WITH A MATE!
I hope to get photos of the pair in the next few days, which I shall also post in Barry the Birder blog in the very near future.
This Swainson's Hawk should normally be languishing about 2,600 kilometres from here, in the central United States. That it is currently flying about Aurora, just north of Toronto, Ontario, is extraordinary. That it seems to have picked up a mate while in Florida this past winter and has returned to Ontario, instead of the midwest USA, is almost beyond belief.
Stay tuned...more to come hopefully.
