Hi Kevin and Texbirders,
I suspect your bird is the pale Red-tailed Hawk that Tim Fennell photographed
in the same location (north side of Granger dam) last weekend, and which may
have spent last winter there.
It is a very pale Red-tail, but not a true Krider's IMO. You might say though
that it has "Krider's influence."
If I am able to get photos of this interesting bird this winter, I will put
some on my Flickr page and post a note and link on Texbirds.
Your other birds are almost certainly juvenile Red-tailed Hawks, which are
common in the area in winter. A single Harris's Hawk, whether adult or
juvenile, would be an exceptional rarity in this area, and four would be
unprecedented.
