Harris hawks are unique among raptors for their cooperative hunting behavior. They often hunt in groups, using teamwork to flush out prey such as rabbits or birds. One hawk may act as a "leader" to flush the prey, while others wait to ambush from strategic positions. This social hunting strategy increases their success rate and allows them to take down larger animals than they could alone.

What does it mean when you have a flock of hawks flying around?

Very few hawks hunt in groups. Most likely, a "pack" of hawks together are migrating, and all taking advantage of the same air currents. It is also possible for a family - parents and the newly fledged young - to be seen together for a few days. One species of hawk that does hunt in groups is the Harris's hawk, but they rarely soar. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris%27s_Hawk I think it's also likely if you saw a group of "hawks" soaring together that they were actually vultures.
