This is far away from my usual forum activity but here in NE Arkansas I have a number of the hawks pictured below. These birds have wing spans of over two feet and prey on the jays, doves etc. They may occasionally take a small gray squirrel or other rodent. I have no problem with this natural predator-prey life style. I simply need identification for this raptor.
Thank for any help and sorry the photos are not better.

Those are Mississippi Kites. The one with the banded tail is an immature. Very cool birds.

Thank you for the identification. These birds are well named for their high aerial gliding and diving.
Regards,
Kent
