    I have a similar sounding Hawk stalking the birds at my feeders. I have been unable to get a good photo of it but I believe it to be a Northern Harrier or mature Coopers Hawk. Here's a link to help you ID your bird:

    I found this photo of a mature Coopers Hawk. Mine looks almost identical except for "bluer" color on the back and a whiter chest. Magnificent looking bird, I just wish he would find his lunch somewhere other than my feeders.
