Over the past week of so, we've caught glimpses of a large hawk passing
through our backyard and perching for very short periods of time. At
approximately 1:00 pm today, the hawk provided a good five minutes of
viewing by perching in an tree in an adjacent yard.

This was a very large bird. We have a resident Coopers Hawk in the
neighborhood and this was a much huskier and larger bird, probably
approaching 2 ft.  The breast was streaked but largely cream or buff
colored. A prominent white supercilium was part of large thick head.

I did snap a couple of digital photo's which if are clear, some times
take pretty shaky photo's, I would be happy to post. I am open to
suggestions on where to post them as I don't think its good practice to
use up bandwidth on the listserv.
