Jackpot!!

We were camping last weekend at our favorite spot overlooking Juan da Fuca Strait and out to the Pacific ocean. I turned the camera on to see the above picture displayed on the LCD, thought I'd hit the jackpot as I hadn't known that Linda had even painted these images let alone photograph them! In miniature they look for all the world like three bars of cherries on a slot machine.
We were treated to several visits by the above raptor and it's partner, most likely a red-tailed hawk though we couldn't distinguish any red color with eyes. Unfortunately this is the only pic I got of the quick flyers, they flew above us, below us and right about eye level and seemed curious about us. If anyone can positively identify this bird I'd much appreciate knowing.
