tell me their wintering grounds location

Not sure, but I'd guess Cooper's Hawk, which winters in Mexico, southern Florida, and the Midwest (parts of TX, OK, KS, and NE).

Edit: I think austinfhs is right. I think I completely missed Swainson's Hawk while flipping through my field guide. >.<

The chest mark definitely suggests the Swainson's Hawk. It winters in southern South America.
