Debatable, but they are the same family.

They kind of look weird but their numbers are increasing just like eagles too. Eagles in my area put up a spectacular aerodynamic show on December 27. Too bad, I could not capture it on camera, the crows were around too but I am not sure what they were trying to achieve by getting in the middle of the action. After all, they came for the party leftovers and the eagles came to hunt lizards and the likes.

Why would you insist they are hawks? You have something against eagles?

I guess you mean "wild" as in "crazy". Aside from their eerie sound, they go about minding their business without disturbing anyone unless you have food that they like.
