Observation details
29 Hawks were observed on the ground in one field running after and feeding on grasshoppers...I've observed this behavior before at this time of the year...most appeared to be Swainson's but were hard to positively ID looking into the setting sun. Not unusual to see this behavior at this time of the year especially with southern Alberta's recent Grasshopper infestation.
