Take one cool looking raptor and throw in our gorgeous, deep blue Colorado skies and just a hint of a whispy cloud and this is what you get.
This male Swainson’s Hawk is one of a pair that returned this past week to an open space not far from my home. I am happy to see they are back and I look forward to spending some more time with them in the coming weeks.
