Long Haul (Buteo swainsoni)

The Swaisons Hawk is the king of Buteo migration traveling from Southern South America all the way up to Alaska ever year. Am fortunate to have a stop over spot in the desert for them and so many other species. This pic was zooomed/cropped hence the lower resolution but it really captures this majestic bird.
