More Hawks in Flight

Incoming! I believe the first three are Red-Tailed hawks. I believe the last to be a coopers hawk... although I'm pretty lousy at identifying birds it seems. ;)

Jason:

Nice shots.

The last one is a Northern Harrier. It is a winter migrant to Texas.

Excellent flight photos, Jason and #2 is my favorite!

Great shots Jason.
Red-tailed hawks in flight are an easy call with the brown color on the leading edge of the wings underneath.The harrier is especially nice as they are hard to photograph and you got a great exposure on him.A tighter crop would greatly enhance this image and show alot more detail IMO.

Unfortunately I clipped the highlights some on the underside of the Harrier. He was a good distance away so I'm afraid if I crop him anymore then noise and sharpening will become too evident. I'll play around with it and see if I can bring out a better pic and crop.

Here is a little tighter crop. Hopefully this is a little better.
