	Migratory Hawks - HELP ME ID?? This morning a flock of about 60 hawks was circling high above the house, riding the thermals. They were just high enough that it was impossible for the camera to lock on them to focus. I had ONE hawk fly low enough that I could get some "decent" (not great) pics of it. About 1/2 of them had the white primary feathers outside of the wrists, as you see in the pics. The other half were the exact same shape and size but had NO white feathers on their wings. Tails were completely nondescript... fairly long, as you can see, and BROWN with 4? narrow darker brown bands, and then a single thicker brown band toward the end. It was not a super-thick band like you see on the Rough-Legged, Red-Shouldered or Short-Tailed hawks. (So I guess we can rule those 3 out!) They held their wings FLAT as they soared; they were not in the dihedral characteristic of Turkey Vultures or Northern Harriers. (They are DEFINITELY not Turkey Vultures, that was never even a consideration) The pics are shown here in maximum resolution to give you the absolute best shots possible. PLEASE comment & discuss!! I'd LOVE to know what these were........ never in my life have I EVER seen a FLOCK of hawks!!!! =) 6 photos

Maybe I can get back there next week (and they will still be there, please oh please)!! 18 photos
