Swainson's Hawks Mating on the Tree.

I was heading toward Bear River when I saw a female Swainson's Hawk perching on the branch of a tall tree. She looked so beautiful in golden light.

I stayed with her for a while but for a long time nothing interesting was happening and suddenly out of nowhere the male Swainson's Hawk appeared and landed on the female. And the mating began.












The female Red-tailed Hawk during the sunrise is waiting when the sun warms up the day.

This freezing cold morning I took the photos I never dreamed about and then I had a difficult time to identify these Hawks. Frustrating!

 Cão, thank you very much for helping me to identify these Hawks.

  2. They will have eggs and then chicken and implicitly many headaches, but their life will become more beautiful.

  5. Kaya, what do you think of that : Swainson’s hawk ?
    that yellow beak and that white "mustache" reminds me of the swainson's hawk.

  6. Buen testimonio gráfico. Dentro de nada, la familia se verá incrementada. De los huevos de la hembra, saldrán las crías , que se convertirán en hermosos halcones.

    Has tenido mucha suerte, de que apareciera el macho y poder fotografíar esas imágenes y con esa extraordinaria nitidez.

    Besos
