Observation details
Both seen together at 12:20 pm flying in thermals while hawkwatching from here on BLM land: (31.34893, -109.04913). The birds initially coasted from the SE of us from NM and tracked towards AZ, following the ridge directly south of us (31.3466300, -109.0479800). They would intermittently cross the state line for the next few minutes before moving deeply into AZ. In the time spent in New Mexico, both birds allowed fairly close photos and prolonged looks of their silver wingtips, black heads when in good light, short tails, and broad wings.
