    I originally identified this as a Broad-winged Hawk, but the wings and tail are too long and face pattern better fits juvenile light morph Swainson's. .

    The Swaisons Hawk is the king of Buteo migration traveling from Southern South America all the way up to Alaska ever year.

    Swainson's Hawk

    This light morph adult was unexpected as this species is very scarce in California at this time of year. The earliest migrants are not expected in the Central Valley until March from wintering grounds in western Mexico. Most of the population winters in Argentina where they were decimated by...

    Swainson's Hawk-Light Phase Juvenile

    Third shot of one of a pair of juvies who were nice enough to let me take a lot of pictures. I got about 50 shots of them before they finally flew away when I got out of the car.

    Swainson's Hawk-Light Phase Juvenile

    Coming out of the Rockies I came upon a pair of juvenile hawks sitting on consecutive fence posts. They stayed there when I stopped and gave me shots of their back, front and side......very accomodating. The coloring was quite striking and very different from the full adults.
