John, i suspect the book you are looking for is "Hawks in Flight"
by Dunne,Sibley & Sutton
pub Houghton Mifflin Co. 1988

A great book full of specific differences between similar raptors
as well as explainations of the "feel" of the bird in flight, the kind of
experience that comes from many hours of watching. Enjoy!
