We had a flock of about 60 hawks riding the thermals over the house this 
morning. 

I thought the ID on them would be easy, because of their distinct 
characteristic(s). WRONG. I have gone through two bird guides now and come up 
dry. Nothing matches, and only 1 or 2 species are kinda-sorta close maybe.

I did snap a few pictures of one of the hawks that just happened to separate 
and fly lower. (Whew!) I would greatly appreciate your expertise in identifying 
who these birds are?? All the pertinent info is posted w/ the pics in an album:

THANK YOU for your suggestions!! :)
