I have seen this beautiful bird or one of it’s relatives, off and on for at least 10 years. The first time, it was sitting in my bird bath just gazing around for nearly a half hour. Today, it flew from a tree in my backyard to the top of my house. I have this year, acquired Chimney Swifts and I think the hawk has some easy prey. I have never seen a nest nearby when the leaves are off the trees. I seem to be the only one in the neighborhood who has seen it.
