My last post was of a juvenile light morph Swainson’s Hawk transitioning into a subadult,\u00a0todays bird is an adult light morph and my next post will be of a dark morph Swainson’s (and perhaps an intermediate morph\u00a0also)\u00a0– this is turning into a series…<\/p>\n

The birds in all three posts were\u00a0photographed on my last trip to southwest Montana, July 21 – 26, 2013.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Adult light morph Swainson’s have a distinctive dark breast “bib”.\u00a0 This hawk posed nicely for me before it decided to leave its perch.<\/p>\n

\u00a0When it did so it surprised me by launching almost directly toward me…<\/p>\n

and I only got this single shot in flight\u00a0without clipping anything.<\/p>\n

I’ve had success with this species this summer in Montana but so far I’m striking out with them in Utah.\u00a0 I know they’re here but I’m not finding them in places where I have in the past.<\/p>\n

I hope to find some here before they head to Argentina for the winter.<\/p>\n
