Was walking the dog a few minutes ago; gorgeous day with not a cloud in the sky. Happened to look almost straight up and there was this very large, and beautiful hawk. Never saw one like it before; really broad wing span and almost white underbelly, wings and tail. Looked very much like a large Red-tailed, but the wrong color. A little Googling leads me to believe it's a Krider's hawk, apparently of Red-tailed lineage. Whatever he was, he was awesome. Wish I'd had me camera.

He didn't seem to appreciate me staring at him. At the hover point of one of those "lazy circles in the sky", he took a humongous dump. He was probably 150-200 yards high and it was clearly visible as it headed my way. I tracked it enough so that I could move out of the way. It was kinda funny. White rain.
