Swainson's Hawk

Yuma, AZ

Thank you Tom for the ID!
On the way to pick up Trenity from church I spotted this hawk way up on top of a stack of hay bales. He was bathed in the early evening low sun (it was just past 6pm) while he watched a field
that would be perfect for hiding his dinner. I was sorry that even though I took this image from the car window, it still spooked him enough that he left and didn't come back.

Another great bird capture. I'm sure he came back later after you left.
