Mira,
Loks looks like an excellent year for Swainson's Hawk in the area of
Pearland. A couple of times now I've seen two pair at my house near
Pearland (288/Beltway) screaming at each other. There is also a pair
not far away at Ann Taylor Park. likely a good year for rodents I
expect.
You have some good observations, you should consider at least entering
them as incidental observations in eBird.org. While incidental
observations don't have a great value for most analysis, they to
provide a record of whats happening in a rapidly urbanizing area like
ours.
