There is indeed a Northern Hawk Owl :-P
This photo makes it look more owl-y than hawk-y; but from the rear it looks quite hawk-y indeed.

This photo was from a wintertime birding trip my wife was on in Minnesota earlier this year. Minus 40 degrees F one morning while they were there... not my idea of fun :-P

The goshawks lived in the conservation land behind our old house in MA; they kept the mourning dove population at our feeders in check! I wish we had them on the property here in NH.
Sorry I don't have better photos :- (
EDIT: At this house, we get - mostly - birdies.

Our family of Coopers Hawks live here:
Second year in a row they've nested in our yard. -

Well done! Nice house and yard.

scubalab,
Nice home, beautiful yard and setting.
Is that mosquito netting? Here in New Hampshire we have a mosquito problem as well. Tough to enjoy our deck most of the time from mi-May to mid September, or so.

bugs ain't (generally) bad where we are in NH - believe it or not. That said, last week the black flies were absolutely horrific.

Erik - Thank you! It's a lot of work, but when we find time to enjoy it, it really pays off!
Moose - Thank you for the compliments. Yes, it is mosquito netting. Got it on amazon and it fits perfectly since the swing is a Full Size.

Nice hk/Rabco :- ) I've always had a soft spot in my heart (or is it "in my head"?) for the ST-6 and the ST-7.

Just for George Grand... of the Jersey Grands.
Tonight. Overhead -- just a little too far "downrange" and a little too dark to get a great photo, but (despite the fact we see this sight regularly around here, for whatever reason), this is the first time I've actually managed to get a photo!

Man! You are in NH, the only place where you can photograph the rare site of planes mating.
On a similar, not quite as, the Blue Angels buzzed the jobsite yesterday at <1,000Ft on their way into Boston for the cities photo shoot. Caught a lot of guys off guard when they came through.
The rest of the images can be seen here.

That is a cool shot!

Way better photo than my big plane p R0 N :-P
...way back when, my first real job was in the (SF) Bay area (Sunnyvale) -- in that long ago time, there was a big summer show at the old Moffett field. I happened to be strolling across the parking lot one Friday afternoon when what should streak/thunder overhead - low - than the aforementioned Blue Angels. Pretty impactful, it was :- )
In those days, the Lockheed Orion recon planes droned in and out of Moffett all of the time; I enjoyed the heck out of watching them.

Well, if we are allowed to post stories without pics - I got a good one.
Used to work for a company that did air combat training system installations. I got sent to Lakenheath AFB in the UK.
The installs were usually right along the flight lines.
One day we took a break in the early afternoon and went outside.
That happened to be the day that two restored Spitfires were practicing for an airshow they were flying out to the next day.
I swear I got a lump in my throat and a catch in my breath when I heard those two Spitfires rumbling with their Merlin engines just overhead as they pulled tight turns.
But wait - it got better.
The next day they fired up the restored Lancaster bomber and it took off with the two Spitfires flying 'cover' as they headed off to the airshow elsewhere.
I'll never forget that...
