Swainson's Hawks mating over Aurora
Two of the half dozen Swainson's Hawks seen last year flying and mating over the town of Aurora, in York Region, north of Toronto on the north shore of Lake Ontario, appear to have recently returned and are seen above mating in tall fir trees yesterday, above the Oak Ridges Moraine in southwest Aurora, Ontario. These Swainson's Hawks would seem to be part of a family of Swainson's that inhabited this same spot last year when four young hawks were produced. Photos below are of the hawks raised last year in a nest on Butternut Ridge Trail, west of Yonge Street.
