Yup, I gave him a couple head fakes and he/she sat still :) The Swainsons are easy to approach, not as jumpy as the red-tailed hawks or rough-legged hawks. Rob Thanks Rick!

Looks like you mesmerized the Swainson's Hawk to willingly pose on that barbed wire fence post. You certainly have a way with the wildlife. It must have been a real blast to be out there the past few days to catch all the action! Very nice! Looks like you mesmerized the Swainson’s Hawk to willingly pose on that barbed wire fence post.

Such terrific light. I think I'm going to have to dub you the "Bird Whisperer"; because they sure do work well with you! Beautiful! Such terrific light.
