#2 is a Swainson's Hawk adult, possibly an intermediate or dark morph judging by what's visible of the flanks. The extensive yellow cere and small bill, dark distal upper tail, back and long wings all add up

Thanks for posting photos, Bob

Number 1 is probably a Red-tail but #2 looks very different. I presume it's holding a very dead snake but that didn't help ID it. Thanks for any help. I expect to post a few more mysteries in the next day or so. Thanks in advance. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37079820 at N07/?uploaded=2&magic_cookie=3544edd9838da39ee73b4095d0e57dfb
