We have a Broad-winged Hawk that has taken to perching outside our back window. I first made the ID a few days ago when the hawk was poorly visible in the tree and I couldn't make out enough of its field marks to differentiate between it and an immature Cooper's Hawk, which also nest in the neighborhood. I was able to ID it by its meal: a frog. When it flew I could see the longer wings and broadly banded tail.
