    After seeing multiple Red-Tailed Hawks throughout my trip, I assumed this was another but after seeing a close up I thought it could be a Swainson's Hawk due to the pale wings and the brown bib. Not sure at all to be honest even after consulting Sibley's guide to western North America Any...

    After being overwhelmed by Cattle and little egret managed to get this Heron flying overhead, not familiar with any other Heron than a grey, and after looking through Collins bird guide I would take a guess at a Purple Heron. Although not sure at all to be honest.
