Great link, aurore! Thank you. It does appear this is a goshawk - new yard bird for me.

It is really hard to be sure without a picture, but my best guess would be a Cooper's. See if this matches the hawk you saw. Here is a link that might be useful: description of Cooper's Hawk

Lazygardens, I think broad winged hawk. One of the shots I have really looks like a grub worm in the mouth but I could be wrong. I am in North Carolina, so I am guessing this bird will continue on its migration path soon. I have enjoyed watching. Thanks to both of you for the ID help.

I thought it was a red tailed hawk, too the moment I saw the picture. See them all the time in Texas. But this one is missing the red on the end of his tailfeathers! Or does that not come in until maturity?
