There were several hawks floating over the open fields along Highway 44 on Tues., as I made my way to the Badlands. Breakfast time. I managed to get this one shot of a nearby Swainson's hawk, with the 300 mm lens this time!
One shot and away he went.
Hi Jann, wonderful photos. I've never seen a Swainsons hawk. Beautiful creatures.
