Swainson's Hawk Family

Swainson's Hawks are beautiful raptors that come in two different color patterns: light morph and dark morph. Swainson's hawks can be polymorphic, with plumage ranging from pale to dark or rufous in color, light-bellied birds with a dark or reddish-brown chest and brown or gray upper-parts.
Their winter migration is a spectacular sight as they migrate overland in vast flocks (kettles) that fill the skies. From North America through Mexico and Central America to wintering grounds in Argentina, the hawk’s annual migration ranges from 11,000 to 17,000 miles.
