I had posted these in the Raptors Forum and Beverly Baynes mentioned that she had seen similar birds a couple of times, once with a friend who told her it was a Krider's hawk. I haven't found any mentions of these being seen in Alabama in my searches, though I did see mention of one in Georgia. It certainly looks like one to me, based on the similarity between my picture here:

and the pictures of this one I found on the net at :

I believe this is the same bird in flight:

And one more of mine taken yesterday is attached
What do you think ?
