Good evaluation Timetraveler! I sent this pic to a couple of local experts and although they say that it cannot be verified from the picture, the head colortion appears to be that of a perigrine falcon but the stature appears to be that of a Coopers Hawk. The one thing they did say with certainty is that my fat ass should stick to guitars and not identifying birds .
