"AUTUMN JOY"

(Swainson's Hawk - Juvenile) - 2 Photos

 

Many of Calgary's larger feathered Spring & Summer visitors (pelicans, herons, ospreys, etc.) have left for southern destinations. (Perhaps, the original "snowbirds"?)

No doubt this young hawk will soon be departing as well.

For now, though, its magnificent dark chocolate markings, contrasting with the season's golden colours, create pure "Autumn Joy".
