Swainson Hawks abound in the San Luis Valley

I have found that the San Luis Valley supports a high number of Swainson Hawks including the most nesting hawks of this species I am aware of in Colorado. In the northeast section of the San Luis Vally, Swainson Hawks outnumber Red-tailed Hawks. This is a dark Swainson Hawk that I photographed last week-end. Do double-click on this pic to enlarge it for very close up observation of this handsome hawk. SeEtta
