There seems to be plenty of Swainsons Hawks around Calgary this year. This one is taking off from a power pole

Great shot EJC...I've noticed that too although there seem to be less now as I think they've started migrating...I haven't seen one for a few days and I was at Fish Creek yesterday.

Great timing!

Thanks MA. It's more like persistence. I got 27 shots of it sitting still!
cheers

Yeh ... I know the feeling. But good persistence is as good as good timing!
