I was informed there was some confusion as to the timing of the November 12th Swainson’s Hawk report.
The photo was taken at 10:00am. It was not until I was reviewing photos at around 4:50 that I realized the Buteo I photographed was not one of our regulars. After sending an email looking for id assistance, Aidan, followed by Greg, confirmed it was a Swainson’s Hawk.
There was no delay in reporting the bird, but a botched identification on the part of the photographer.
