The Hawks

Here's the 2 hawks that were in a huge tree across the street from our house. To get perspective of height, the top of that tree (with the birds) was probably about 40-50 feet high.

Now, can any bird people actually confirm something interesting about them? According to Vinnie (our overlly Italian neighbor) they are hawks but I don't know anyting about his bird watching expertise.
