I saw this fellow hanging out on my fence this past January. A small bird flew into my window and unfortunately killed itself. This hawk decided to take advantage. He flew in and landed on my fence as seen in the picture. He waited a while to survey the here. I assume he was being vigilant. Then he finally hopped down to the ground, grabbed his prey, and flew off. I’m not sure about the identification, but I think it is a broad-winged hawk, Buteo platypterus. They are relatively short with broad wings. The adults are dark brown with a white belly and horizontal barring on the chest. They range from southern Canada to southern Brazil. They mostly breed in the northern United States and migrate to South America in the winter.
