Swainson's Hawk (Buteo Swainsoni)

Saw these hawks yesterday out for an evening soar. I saw quite a few red-tailed hawks in the area and thought that this was another couple. When I got a close up view of them, they didn't seem to add up to a red-tailed. Experts concluded they are Swainson's Hawks.
