Buteo swainsoni
I was snapping photos of a solo Swainy on the wire above me, when suddenly a male entered the picture!! It was a wonderful surprise!! ;-)

Thanks Mark, Austin and Karen! Karen, one of my FB friends said she looks very irritated at him!!! ;-)
Looks like he took her by surprise too!
Beautiful!
Magic series Christy. Congrats.
Thank you, all!!! This was all luck for me!! I had to put the picture of the solo Swainy because it was the girl I was shooting first, with no idea that the male was there!! Thanks again!!
terrific spotting! this is an excellent series and like neil said, great timing. The fact that you caught the wing movement in 5/6 photos! wow, just great, congrats and thanks for sharing!
Sensational! A brilliant spotting, and perfect timing. Very nice.
Fantastic capture Christy
