Got some shots of a pair of hawks catching frogs in the creek behind my house.

Excellent photos - thanks for posting.  What type of hawks are those?  Regards.

I believe they are Red Shouldered hawks but they may be Sharp Shinned hawks. Maybe someone here will know for sure. They have been living around my place for the last two years and I see them regularly. They aren't big enough to be Red Tailed hawks. I'm not sure which is the male but the lighter colored one is almost tame and lets me walk within ten feet. The darker one is spooky and I have to sneak up on it to get a picture.

Yes, they are red-shouldered hawks. Whichever one is larger is the female. It's hard to say from the photos, but I'd say the lighter one is the female.
