Hi There, was looking to see if someone could identify these 2 hawks. I believe them to be Sharp Shinned hawks, but they look really different to me, maybe the blue eyed one is a juvenile. I live in south Florida and we had 2 hawks living in the yard and now there are 4! there seems to be doing a lot of hollering, possibly territory disputes!.
There are 2 different birds here, got good angels on the blue-eyed one last night while he was hunting. We live on a canal/waterway system so lots of good critters for hunting!
Whats throwing me off is the different colored eyes, the chest markings and the leg colors.
Thanks for any info.
