Sharp-shinned Hawk
I hope there's enough information here for an ID. It's eye balling some prey behind it. I only managed to get one shot. It's Smaller than the Red-tail Hawk I found a couple minutes earlier. I saw it flying, and it looked more falconish. Because the breast is dark, I'm baffled! Could this be a Kite? We've been known to get Mississippi Kites up here.
