I took these when we went on vacation in FL. All taken with Niko's camera, 10D + 300mm, as you know that he's hogging my camera most of the time...

Light-morph immature Swainson's Hawk? (not sure)

Unable-to-fly Hawk

Thanks for viewing guys, I would really appreciate your comments/critics.
Enjoy!

We would be in some serious trouble if the Unable-to-fly Hawk did manage to get off the ground . Great shots Fionna!

Really nice image, the first one, good use of f stop to soften background. I like the Gator also . Did you have a nice trip?

Hi Fionna,

I like the 1st shot - the hawk is very stately looking. Nice!

Best regards,
Wenyao

Great shots Fiona. I like no 1 too. Are these hawks hard to capture?
I like the ripple effect on the water in the gator picture too.

Hi Fionna!

I love the first and third images. That Swainson's was in a nice pose.

The alligator image, with the nice effects in the water, shows beautifully as an environmental image of the gator habitat. Well taken, and nice compo!

I love the first capture, very beautiful and a wonderful pose. Typically, I like extremely blurry, blown out backgrounds, but I love the DOF in this shot as it really places him in his environment. Awesome work as always

Thanks for your compliment. I am glad you like these.
We certainly had a nice trip, wish we had had more time. Florida just awesome.

Nice shots, Lavender.

The first one is unlikely to be a Swainson's Hawk if the shot was taken in Florida. They are mainly found in the western half of the U.S. and the coloring doesn't look quite right. It might be a Broad-winged Hawk, but I've never seen one up close so don't take that as gospel.
The second one looks a lot like a Red-shouldered or a Red-tailed Hawk. I'm not certain on that one either but it looks more like a Red-shoulder than any other hawk I'm familiar with. Do you happen to have a shot of it from behind or with it's wings spread?
The third one, well if you insist on calling it a "hawk" I would guess is related to the Eastern Pond Hawk, being one of the few "hawks" that like water... but those are usually blue and much, MUCH smaller.

Once again, nice shots. ...and thanks for sharing them.

This particular hawk that I took was very cooperative but others, were not. He let me take of his pic and get close before he flew.
I like the ripple effect too
Thanks a lot, Perry.

Thank you very much for the ID, Steve.
Now when I look at it again #2, it might has been red shoulder hawk. In term of the location, I agree with you #2 picture, the swainson hawk found in the western half of US. However, according to my bird's book, it looks similar to light morph swansion, so I assume that
Once again, thanks for your compliment. I really appreciate it.
