Observation details
Two dark-morph adults. at nest, mobbing and screaming. From field notes: "Eagle Plains - SWHA nest. Nest on top of 10m tall flat top Black Spruce in open rolling Black Spruce forest adjacent to open tundra hills. Two adult dark morph Swainson's Hawks at nest actively mobbing and screaming - higher, clearer call than Harlan's Hawk. The back of one large baby clearly seen in the nest. Starting to get feathers but still fluffy. Both adults seen very well - long narrow wings (for a buteo) held at graceful dihedral. Dark flight feathers as seen below create dark wing look as the wing was then all dark. Tail dark, slightly paler at base." Photos uploaded.
