Swainson's Hawks are renowned for having one of the longest migrations of any North American bird of prey. They travel a total round-trip distance of about 12,000 to 14,000 miles (roughly 20,000 to 24,000 kilometres) every year.
Their annual journey takes them between their summer breeding grounds in western North America (stretching as far north as Canada and the top of Alaska) and their wintering grounds in the grasslands and pampas of southern Argentina.
