Swainson's Hawk has been around all summer

Swainson's Hawk
The Swainson's Hawk (Buteo Swainsoni) that has been spending the summer near the Aurora, Ontario retirement residence in which I live, continues to attract attention.   Especially when it enters the foyer of the building in pursuit of some small rodent   A Delmanor resident helped the big bird from western Canada find its way out, but not before getting this photograph in the main entrance.   It will be very interesting to see if this hawk will head back out west and then south as part of its winter migration.
