Hi All— On Wednesday, John Holden and I saw the Swainson’s Hawk recently reported by Gerry Hoekstra in Rice County. Initially the bird was perched on telephone wires by County Road 1, about one mile east of I-35. The bird flew up to the top of a huge oak tree further down the highway. I was able to take a poor, but confirming photograph, which is on my blog this morning: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com
Apparently this hawk has been in the vicinity most of the summer. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota [email protected] http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet...Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ....”—H.
