Birds of the Lakes Region

What species of birds are being seen around the lakes?
Back in April we saw three brown Eagle-like birds. I thought at the time they were Hawks, but they definitely were not. If they were Eagles, they were immature. I have been told it is possible they were Northern Harriers. They were too far away for me to snap a good picture or identify them properly. Either way it was just incredible. Did anyone else see these three? We saw them soaring around over the peninsula on Rattlesnake Island.
