I thought I'd head a few miles east to Rock County after the reports of
Swainson's Hawk from the weekend trip of MOU.
Other birds were good, but we saw 4 Swainson's Hawk. One was a full dark
morph adult. It was perched on a quartzite boulder 40 ft. from the road on the way
to the interpretive center. It stayed a while, then flew over us and rode the
winds over the ridge.
It was heart stopping. I assume they are as rare in MN as they are in SD.
