But you certainly have to give them credit for their creative approach to the transfer.

Juvenile Swainson’s Hawk Landing Practice
Landing on relatively small elevated perches must be one of the more difficult skills young raptors must learn.
The Injured Juvenile Swainson’s Hawk
Juvenile and Adult Swainson’s Hawks – A Feeding Session
Things got a little frenzied when one of the adult Swainson’s Hawks would bring a vole in to feed their juvenile offspring.
Juvenile Swainson’s Hawk – A Leap Of Faith (or at least of hope)
I’ve been watching a mated pair of Swainson’s Hawks near Monida, Montana all summer and for several reasons I believe their first nesting may have failed and they started over.
Swainson’s Hawk Casting A Pellet
I’m always fascinated by both the process and the resulting photos of birds ejecting pellets.
A Few More Birds (and a personal observation) From Our Recent Montana Camping Trip
This post is largely a collection of photos that documents some of the bird species I photographed on our recent camping trip to southwest Montana. Most of these images have flaws and as I’m prone to do I’ll be pointing those flaws out but for me each of the images has something positive to offer to make up for their shortcomings.
Two Recent Swainson’s Hawks
So far this year Swainson’s Hawk populations seem to be a little spotty. I’m finding them in normal concentrations in some areas but in others where there’s been good numbers of them in the past they seem to be rare or nonexistent. I’m not really alarmed about it, rather I suspect this is just one more example of localized bird numbers being difficult to predict.
