Guess yesterday was just a fluke with three pictures I liked - nothing of interest today. Spotted these two hawks about 200 yards away and in the top of an old dead tree. Wasn't even sure they were birds - bland white sky. But liked the composition. Quite cropped.
Intriguing birds. I guess the one on the right is a Mississippi Kite, but not sure about the one on the left. It looks about the same size as the other, so maybe a juvenile kite or a Broad-winged Hawk? I don't see either of these species very often, so just a guess.
Oh what fun to catch two birds together. Interesting what @annepann wrote about one being the kite. I do love birds and can scarcely tell them apart, but they are beautiful to watch
Good catch! Jeff is the birds of prey expert in our family. But it looks like someone has already identified this pair correctly. I would definitely say they're together. As far as I know hawks, etc. are very territorial, so it's either male/female, or parent/child.
