Christopher and I were in the backyard, enjoying the nice evening while
studying for upcoming exams, when we noticed a fairly large buteo with
long, pointed wings flying over. We grabbed binoculars and sure enough, it
was a light SWAINSON'S HAWK. This was about 8:05pm and it was heading east
northeast just south of Mt. Tabor. This was yard bird #108. While certainly
not expected as our next yard bird, the weather conditions and timing are
probably perfect. Seems like a good time to try for this species out at the
Portland Airport, Troutdale area, or really any adequate grassy area.
Enjoy the migration and nice weather,
Adrian Hinkle
