The Swainson's Hawks recently written about in three previous blogs have taken to gathering materials for a nest, presumably. One of the hawks is pictured below with nesting materials in its beak. The photo was taken at quite a distance away and it somewhat out of focus.
Swainson's Hawks are normally found in the central United States. In this case one 'Swainsons' appeared in the Aurora/King area, north of Toronto, Ontario in the summer of 2024. It returned this year, (probably from Florida in the winter) remarkably with a mate in tow and and they seem to be preparing a nest. We shall see what we shall see.
Please comment if you wish.
