That's what I get for processing late at night! However the coloring of the head seems to be off for a Swainson's?

Looks like a standard juvenile Swainson's hawk.

Thanks guys, I think your I'd is correct, they didn't act like a harrier either. Very vocal and not skittish at all. I have 30 or 40 shots and they didn't spook.

It's an immature bird and doesn't have it's adult plumage yet.

That's a very nice shot, Dave, regardless of the species. Well done.
