[va-bird] Raptor at Ben Brenman, Hoodies pix

The first three pictures are of a raptor I saw circling over Ben Brenman 
Park on Thursday afternoon.

I know what I think it is, but I'll wait for expert advice. The pictures 
are not of good quality because they were taken with a hand-held, manual 
focus 500mm lens.

Also, the next five images are of Hooded Mergansers (m&f) taken just 
before I saw the raptor. The first one of them is interesting in that you 
can see the nictitating membrane partly closed on the bird's eye (right 
side).
