We had a pair of Swainson's Hawks nesting at our place in Moxee for about 5
years in the early 1980's. When they had young in their nest they were very
aggressive towards us-but no bloodshed. They would swoop very fast right at us
while we changed irrigation pipes and they got amazingly close! The
Red-tailed Hawks that have nested here for the last 15 plus years seem quite passive
compared to the Swainson's.
