Nicely done. BIF's are tough, but I'd do a bit of cropping to add some more tension and drama.

For the un-initiated, BIF's = Birds In Flight.

You have doone a great job on these. BIF are definitely not the easiest thigs to photograph - I know I try it all the time and find about a 60 to 70 percent success. I like #2 the best, but in 1 and 3 you have managed to get a catchlight in the bird's eye, again not always easy to do but you did it and this adds to the image. I'm guessing that this is a Ferruginous Hawk (light form adult), or a Rough-legged Hawk. Let me know if I am even close.
