Female Swainson’s Hawk takes flight in the early morning sun

My weekend camping trip didn’t really bring much extraordinary in the way of wildlife. That’s okay as it was a great one to just disconnect and spend some time with my family.

This capture is from last weekend in Adams County, Colorado. The beautiful lady was hanging out near her nest watching traffic roll by but being pestered by a number of smaller birds. She finally took flight giving me an absolutely beautiful flyby.
