[SBB] possible Ferruginous Hawk?

[Chuq Von Rospach <[[email protected]]>]

Laurie was out on the patio Saturday when she suddenly said "that's  
why it's so quiet! we have a hawk". I popped out to look, and we had  
hawk on the telephone pole in the next yard hanging out -- and total  
silence around the feeder.

I didn't get a great look at it; it split as I was grabbing the  
camera, but after wandering through Sibley's, I *think* it was a  
Ferruginous. The most noticable mark I saw was that the breast  
feathering was extremely pale, either a very pale yellow or white (it  
was late afternoon, it was somewhat backlit). It was also a large  
hawk -- definitely larger than a red tail, and larger than the  
resident Coopers that live in the area. The general look matches that  
of the "light juvenile" in Sibleys, however.
