I am linking up Camera Critters and I'd-Rather-B-Birdin.
Happy Father's Day!!
These are some shots of the various raptors we saw while vacationing in Florida.
I am pretty sure this is the Red-tailed Hawk, it has the dark belly band.
I believe this is the Red Shouldered Hawk
A different Red Shouldered hawk sighting. My field guide says the Florida Red-Shouldered Hawk has a grayish head. What do you think, do you see a grayish head above?
We saw the Swallow-tailed Kite often while we were on vacation. It was a cool bird for me to see and a lifer.

you sure got some great photographs to share here Eileen; a great photo shoot
You got some pretty good shots, Eileen. For some ODD reason, I don't associate raptors with Florida. LOL-I guess I think they should have nothing but flamingos. How silly!
Have a great weekend...
I can't help you with the identification (I'm not a REAL birder, haha!) but I CAN appreciate your awesome shots! Have a great weekend!

Stunning photos - great poses of the birds - I love to see pictures of birds flying - they are so hard for me to capture.
Wow - you got up close to those raptors. Amazing shots!
The raptors are majestic birds. Great shots of them.
Olá Eileen, maravilhosas fotos dessas aves! Um privilégio poder desfrutar assim da natureza, que também amo muito.Abraço e bom fim-de-semana. Ailime
Fabulous photos of these handsome birds.
Fabulous pictures, I would certainly love to see the Swallow-tailed Kite, what a gem.
Great shots! I really like the colors of the tree and the sky in the first group.
These images could easily be paintings - such drama! Amazing!

Great raptor shots. I'm not very good with IDing them. They sure are beautiful.
WOW, brilliant images of this hawk, Eileen!
Beautiful and impressive!
Well done!
do you use a binoculous?
hey eileen! this was the first post that showed up in my reader...so of course i had to come here first! (i'm wondering where u were in FL??) yeah, you're definitely right about the Red-shouldered hawks. but i THINK the first shot is a juvenile...see how the chest looks different? more dappled looking with dark spots and not yet uniformly tan & white...
great shots!! =)
