--Boundary_(ID_OH/dAUcT1LrB1/GN1jcu6A) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Angela, of those three, only broad-wings are very likely; they are much smaller than red-tails, and have black and white horizontal bars on the tail (conspicuous -- see field guide); their call is very high and a single extended note, quite different from red-shouldered, which is the next most likely species. You should be able to Google both species and be able to listen to their calls. Are you sure they are not harriers? which don't soar very much; harriers too would show different sizes and colours for female vs. male; female is brown and large, male is gray with black wing tips and small.
