Subject: [Tweeters] RFI - Recent Swainsons Hawk, Washington

Hi All,

I have heard that there was a somewhat recent Washington state sighting of
Swainson's Hawk, and was wondering if anyone had some more information on it.

I had one in Victoria a few days ago, and am puzzling over the origin, due to a
combination of early date, and the fact that this species is almost unheard of
in captivity in British Columbia (one or two individuals).

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
