Swainson’s Hawks in Plumas County

10,000 Birds

Each autumn, nearly the entire breeding population of the Swainson’s Hawk migrates from the temperate zone of North America to wintering areas in South America. 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.
