Looks like Redtail or Red Shoulder Hawks
Definitely looks like a pair of hawks.

Not buzzards. Defiantly hawks . Look for photos online of the two.

In the US buteos are hawks, in other countries they're buzzards and in the US there is no such thing as a buzzard, they're vultures.
I checked my National Audubon Birds of North America and their a pair of Red-Tailed Hawks. A lovers quarrel?
Nice shoot, right place, right time.

There are also Buteo's in the US, like Buteo regalis (Ferruginous Hawk), Buteo jamaicensis (Red-tailed Hawk), along with several other Buteos. Accipiters in the US are Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Northern Goshawk, and Gyrfalcon.
OOPS! Gyrfalcon is US's largest falcon, NOT an accipiter. We only have three accipiters. Woke up in the middle of the night and realized my error!
