Mountain Rose Herbs sponsors five rescued raptors at the Cascade Raptor Center in Eugene, Oregon. We spent an afternoon recently visiting with one of them: Guapo, a handsome Swainson's hawk. This beautiful raptor was such a joy to spend time with!

Swainson's hawks are large, slender natives of the western plains. They are close in size and shape to our more common Red-tailed hawks, but have longer, narrower, more pointed wings, and a smaller bill and feet.

***We apologize for the chainsaw noise in the background for the first few minutes!
