There were two Swainson's Hawks on the west side of Mt Carbon this morning. One was first seen on a rocky outcrop, took flight, and was joined by a second one. Soaring together, perhaps a pair, wandered off southwesterly, over the horse pasture at Simms & 285. I saw a single Swainson's one week ago, same location, soaring very high and effortlessly on the thermals.
Commonly there are Red-tails in this very same location; one was seen this morning, sitting on a large rock eating a freshly killed prairie dog.
