Don’t talk to me about having a Bad Hair Day…it would take a bit for this Swainson chick to dry out after the monsoon rains hit Winnipeg July 31st.

Being in the right place at the right time … it appears I dropped in on the Swainson’s at lunch time.

After returning from the lake a visit to the Swainson Hawk site was in order to check on their progress. After four days away it appears that two of the chicks have now fledged. I believe the two males by size are up and flying now.

From what I seen yesterday when food was delivered to the nest the young female was the only chick in the nest … as I’m sure the other two would have been attempting to get their share if they where there.

Perhaps the visit today will show something different ?
