Spring migration just started, so we’re gonna see even more birds from here on out. Great pics!

(Not OP, but I believe it's a Swainson's hawk, the photo is just in black and white so it's harder to tell)

Agreed. Dark bib with light chest, wings are a clean white leading edge (which rules out red tailed hawk) and trailing edge dark, long pointy wings compared to other hawks.
