I did ID this..falcon, a Northern Harrier. My field guide of hawks in the NE has b/w sketches so I had to do some online searches. I thought it was too far inland and not enough white to be an Osprey. I was just in awe of the size and since it swooped down and circled just @30' from me, I did get a good look at the underbelly but it still happened so quickly.
