Went looking for some Sandhills around Sheridan MT - but they proved to be illusive and on the wrong side of the sun - instead we came across a pair of Prairie Falcons - they were nice enough to pose for us before taking off - you could see some blood on one of their claws and beak must have just had breakfast :D

Sorry, not a Prairie Falcon, looks like immature swainson's hawks, this is a Prairie Falcon. But they are great shots of swainson's hawks. : )

What Tom said, juvenile Swainson's Hawks. Nice shots, Marcy.
