Chet Meyers writes: This afternoon at 3:30 I observed a pair of Swainson's hawks soaring, displaying, and then copulating not far from the intersection of highway 52 and 42 in Dakota County. The pair had been reported earlier. Exit highway 52 headed south from Twin Cities on 42 and turn east go under the highway. The pair was frequenting the woods on the right-hand side of the road just before 42 turns toward the 140th marsh. Hopefully they will bring forth some progeny. Chet Meyers, Hennepin County
