Default Duck... Duck... Goose... ?

Nope, it's a hawk!

just though I'd share some pics of a little visitor we had today. The snall tree he's sittin on is about 30ft away from our birdfeeders, but I couldn't tell you how far the nearest bird was.

Might be one but can't be 100% sure. Markings are a little different. Also need to check the tail to see if it's rounded or square.

Not an expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.
