Two observed flying over or from pond area headed east to grove of trees to east along road (FR 84). First bird appeared high, about twice tree top heigh from north (heading south'ish, when crossed road turned eastward and ultimately disappeared into the tops of the trees about 1000 feet to the east (and slightly south). The second bird appeared before the first bird disappeared (few photos of both birds), appeared at about mid-canopy height coming through the cottonwoods between the southeast corner of the pond and the road, following the same trajectory as the first bird gaining altitude until it too disappeared into the top of the same trees. Details: All dark (dark brown appearing) raptor with very broad wings and short tails, white band near base of tail, and paleness show at base of primaries. no vocals. Both appeared in adult plumage. Breeding/nesting suspected, habitat is prime for this species.
