Can someone help me ID these hawks with just this information. I could not get closer. Cropping, the birds just fall apart, it does not give me more info. It was pouring rain except for intermittent moments like this. I sat in the car.....until it stopped, these birds left, then walked and got some other birds. Low light most of the time: bad weather........ many birds, crazy. Oyster beds are shut down from the rain, there were no birds at the wildlife place and they spent this AM trying to stay on their perches. (They are banded)

    Good shot Ginger. I'm not 100% but I would say its a red-tailed hawk.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks for the help. I lost my carolinas bird book, so I bought a Peterson. It has so many birds in it, I get totally lost. Absolutely none of those birds look like my birds. The hawks. My hawks have that white on their backs, maybe they ran into some paint.

    I enjoyed seeing them. They were really a trip and it is a shame that the rain was getting my lens so wet I didn't get one good shot, haha, if one calls good like here, but the top hawk was flapping his wings, carrying on. I didn't know if he/she was trying to be an umbrella, or just hang on.

    thanks for stopping and the help.
