I was recently taking pictures of a gorgeous juvenile Swainson’s Hawk that was taking advantage of some strong winds.  It was gliding effortlessly with no need to flap its wings thanks to the breeze.  As I was clicking the shutter I notice something out of the corner of my eye – the young one’s sibling!

It would appear there was a bit of a sibling rivalry going on for mine and my camera’s attention with the newcomer seemingly wanting to have its picture taken as well.  😉
