[cobirds] Swainson’s Hawk & Turkey Vultures

CObirders:

Would a Swainson's Hawk migrate with Turkey Vultures?  Just saw a group (kettle?) of vultures slowly migrating south over Louisville.  Seemingly soaring with the vultures was one Swainson's Hawk (missing a tail feather).

Could this be a young bird that fledged late and then missed the main Swainson's migration?  They gather in eastern Colorado in late August before migrating south in large flocks to Argentina.  Not sure iif the Swainson's have left eastern Colorado yet.

Thanks- -
