Bird has not been seen since about noon, Ive spent last 1.5 hours looking with
no success. Winds picked up from north, bird was well fed on grasshoppers,
hopefully it is just out of sight but very possibly lifted off south.Michael

September 19th, 2020 Victor and I found a very tame, cooperative juvenile
Swainson’s Hawk this evening on Harry George Road near Tiptonville Tennessee.
The bird was literally in the road when we found it. When we left near dusk it
was in the freshly harvested corn field near the road where it had been feeding
on something left behind by the combine, presumably a dead rodent. We also had
a subadult Golden Eagle at Jolly Landing in Lake County for a total of 12
species of diurnal raptors for the day. The Eagle seems to be a bit early this
far South. Ruben Stoll, Pleasantville Tennessee
