Swainson’s Hawks in Plumas County

10,000 Birds

From Canada, this migration is more than 10,000 km each way, a distance second among raptors only to that of the Arctic Peregrine Falcon 1. Like most buteos, the Swainson’s Hawk feeds its young rodents, rabbits and reptiles but not so during non-breeding season. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7tVjohOIdI. v=Q7tVjohOIdI.
