Thank you ChristyHolland. I have been following the Hawks and taking so many pictures in a day bringing them together in the upload. I did not separate them.
Thanks again for your help.
Nice series, Tishanne! It looks like you have 2 different birds here...both Red-Tailed Hawks. The first 2 pics show a Juvenile, and the remaining show an adult. You can separate them into two spottings if you want, as each "spotting" is usually one sighting of one bird.
