Hola Birders,
Just wanted to drop a line to say that we had a Swainy yesterday. It was
soaring with two Harriers. These two birds are surprisingly similar in some
ways. The angle of wing dihedral is very similar as well as general wing shape
and tail proportions. The SWHA wing is broader and the tail is relatively
shorter. The Swainy kind of looked like a Harrier on steriods. Just thought
I'd share.
Good day and good birding,
-Sam Stuart
