I could tell it looks a bit different from most birds I am used to seeing. This pic is heavily cropped. I thought maybe one of the bird experts might be able to ID it.

They'll be migrating out very soon. gardenpom Melbourne, FL (Zone 9b) September 28, 2007 1:47 PM Post #4027496 Thanks, Ned...never have seen one of those before! pelletory Marlton, NJ September 28, 2007 1:48 PM Post #4027501 Heres the page on them; look under Cool Facts to see some interesting reading on them.

One thing it likes to do is perch in the very tops of trees! pelletory Marlton, NJ September 28, 2007 2:05 PM Post #4027556 Just like Hawks; the better to see the other birds.
