Awesome series
Wonderful pic. I don't know a lot about the raptors in that area, but it has similar markings to the female snails kites I've seen in FL. Snail Kites have ruby red eyes, a long hooked beak w/a yellow cere, females are mottled brown, and the tail has a white teminal band. Hope you find out what it is.
What a great expression it has. Excellent shot
This doesn't look like a broad wing. It looks more like an immature red-tailed hawk
Defiantly a Merlin Falcon. Great shot
Beautiful leukistic Red-Tailed Hawk! Great sighting
I agree with you ChristyHolland the 1st picture is an immature Turkey Vulture and not a Black Vulture
Great spotting they are 2 adult Red-Shouldered Hawks. Likely getting ready for the upcoming nesting season
