PaulK Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) I'd call the first one a Harriet but definitely wait for confirmation. ETA: autocorrect! A harrier Edited October 19, 2021 by PaulK 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L. Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I would also call the first one a harrier. The second seems to be a dark-morph hawk species, but I'm not sure which. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen Swainson's Hawk here in Florida yet. They do pass through but in small numbers. What makes you think Swainson's? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
