[obol] [Tweeters] Aggressive Swainson's Hawk

[Sturnella at aol.com]

We had a pair of Swainson's Hawks nesting at our place in Moxee for about 5  
years in the early 1980's. When they had young in their nest they were very  
aggressive towards us-but no bloodshed. They would swoop very fast right at us  
while we changed irrigation pipes and they got amazingly close! The 
Red-tailed  Hawks that have nested here for the last 15 plus years seem quite  passive 
compared to the Swainson's.
