hello new guy here (1 Viewer)

Hi
my name is Bob and I have a problem..
I spend too much time looking out windows at bird feeders

I had a few questions that this board did answer
and I have a new one now ...perhaps it should wait and be posted on
proper thread and I will
but if any of you are in St Louis Park mn I have seen a hawk/ falcon I cant identify and I know most typical ones by heart

the distinguishing feature was 2 bright white lines horz on tail
that was slate blue grey with dark bars of same
but with thin 1/4 " white lines on the very tip and 1/3 way up
between bars of dark slate color

also looked like he /it wore a dark cap from just above the eye to
almost perfectly horzontal to back of head
like a bowler cap less brim chest much lighter with golden V's/W's
accross chest

I thought it was a broadwing but much darker..???? help

seen 1 week ago and 1week b4 that 3/24---3/31
