I live in South Daytona, FL I've seen 2 birds that resemble a red shouldered hawk but after looking at the pictures on this website, there doesn't seem like somethings right. Like the chest color and the birds legs seem to be a different shade than the one on this website. It does resemble the hawk greatly, but the 2 in my backyard vary a little. Can anyone tell me what these 2 (I presume they are a pair) might be. They are so cool and sit like an owl and just look around. I saw one carrying a snake in its mouth the other day. What can they be?

I saw this large gray bird in a run off ditch in Kissimee, FL It had a large gray body with a red-ish gray head, does anyone know what it is?

I just saw a beautiful reddish bird in Daytona Beach, FL. The head was brighter, and the body was a muted light red. There were no black or white contrast colors that I could see. Does anyone know what it is?

I saw about 6 or 7 yellow birds, sitting on a wire in St. Augustine, FL. They were about the size of a robins, the chest was bright yellow. The heads and wings were gray or black. The beaks were triangular, much like that of a grosbeak. Tails were long and appeared split. Can anyone name?
