Subject: [fhs-65] Hawk?


Spotted this fine feathered friend quite some distance from the house, way up 
in a tree.  Had to get out the binoculars and extend the camera's telephoto 
lens to see/photo it, in spite of the fact that it appeared to be a very large 
bird.  I'm just assuming it is a hawk.

Any of you birders care to guess what it is?  I looked around but only found 
pictures close to that of the Sharp-shinned hawk, however, it was described as 
being the smallest of the hawks.  Tail seemed a little different too.  This 
handsome fellow two houses away appeared to us to be quite large.  It also 
looked huge when it flew off.

Suggestions?
