Today I released the last of my swainson's hawks at the same ranch area as the other one. This one was a bit reluctant to come out of the crate too but once on the ground she sat back and said "bring it on". She also came towards me when I tried to convince her she could fly free. It finally took a long wooden rod to get her upright. I got her to grab it with her feet then tossed her into the air. You can see both photos above. Now all she and the other swainson's hawks have to be is strong enough to make the long migration this Fall to South America for the winter.
