The hawks are awesome. There are two of them and one big nest. They are about the size of ducks with giant wingspans. I can clearly see their nest from my front porch. I am guessing the hawks nest is 60 feet up. It is hard to take pictures of them, because they are usually far away. Sometimes they are really active. I think they are building onto their nest. They fly really cool and often swoop down. I've seen them eat a mouse or something on a branch above my front porch.

I think they are Red-shouldered Hawk: The Red-shouldered Hawk is a large, broad-winged hawk with a relatively long tail and heavy body. A brown head and reddish lesser secondary upper wing coverts, which give the semblance of red shoulders, are characteristic of both the adult and immature Red-shouldered Hawk. The adult hawk has additional red markings on the breast and under wing coverts, while the breast and under wing of the immature are pale with light brown splotches.

Hawks Rule!
