One again, just when I thought we'd seen the last of the Swainson's Hawks here in southern Ontario, just north of Toronto, one more has shown up at the end of November, in Aurora, Ontario. I looks strong and healthy and well-fed. But it should be in Florida or even further south at this time of year.
I believe this bird to be one of a family of six Swainson's Hawks that spent the spring, summer and fall here in the Aurora area.
Two years ago there was a single mated pair here, but this year it appeared to be a family of six.
It has been a revelation to watch this beautiful raptor almost every day and often up close.
