Last Wednesday at Barr Lake State Park, there was an adult and two juvenile Swainson's Hawks feeding on some insects in mid-air. They were flying, and would rapidly swerve and grab something with their talons, then transfer it to their mouths while on the wing. The adult seemed to be catching more, or at least was more actively grabbing and transfering, than the juveniles, who were more vocal. It was the first time I had ever seen that behavior in Swainson's, and was very interesting to watch. Whatever they were catching was too small to be identified through binoculars. -Elena K
