Swainson's Hawks around and about...

It looks like the Town of Aurora, just north of Toronto, Ontario, will be playing host again this summer to a group of Swainson's Hawks that have inhabited the forests around the town for the past two summers.   In the past two weeks, five of the raptors have been seen circling over tall fir trees in the southwest part of town, where some were observed nesting last summer.   These birds as big as Red-tailed Hawks and seem quite comfortable circling close together  high overhead.   IO am seeing these birds often flying above the Delmanor Retirement Residence on Butternut Ridge Trail in southwest Aurora, west of Yonge Street.
