Around 6:00 while playing a round of frisbee golf at Staring Lake Park in Eden
Prairie I observed an adult Swainson's Hawk flying above.  Across the road from
the park is Flying Cloud Airport, and to the south of the park is the Minnesota
River valley.  There are always raptors flying around the area, but this is
only the second time I have seen a Swainson's Hawk there.
