p.1 #1 · Swainson's Hawks (Alberta)

I took my camera with me on the way to drop off my son for hip-hop class.

There were lots and lots of Swainson's Hawks hanging around within a mile of my house.

Here are my best shots.

Comments and feedback is appreciated.

Love this spring. The leaves are staring to fill out and the birds are back.
