I'm glad you liked it! I never see them except in flight and I glanced out my window and there it was, so I had to capture it. Going through my old footage, today, and just found it.

Too small for hawk or falcon. It's an osprey or a goshawk

I'm in Columbus, Ohio, not a birder, but it looks like a Peregrine falcon, which also looks like an Osprey, which are also found here, and are of comparable size. Ospreys are actually slightly larger. And then the Sharp-Shinned Hawk also looks like that and is even smaller than the Peregrine Falcon, but it was definitely more that a foot long, so I doubt it could be the Sharp-Shinned Hawk.

@@PlanetLuthian Great! Now I'm becoming an ornithologist! Thank you for encouraging me to research because I often avoid it, though I enjoy doing it. When I look for autographs on eBay I also look them up on google and compare the minute details to avoid buying a forgery. Autographs make great gifts, if you know someone who adores that person. Using that skillset I looked at a bunch of Ospreys and a bunch of Peregrine Falcons. David Lynch puts a series of dots under his name and any autograph without them is not genuine, no matter how close the name may look. The Osprey has a very bright white underside and slender legs while a Peregrine Falcon has a grayish underside with streaks of dark feathers and thick legs so, by that criteria, I will say it is the Falcon. The Sharp-Shinned Hawk also has a streaked underside but it tends to be brown or red, though it can be gray, and they have a smaller beak and a more Pigeon-like head and are usually less than a foot long, so it is absolutely not one of them.
