Am I in trouble if I have a couple squirrel box houses in my trees, and a swinging bridge for them to cross back and forth on? hahahahha I had seen a squirrel with just a nub tail in the area, and for a few years, I often wondered if it was the same one, or possibly a passed down defect. I saw it so many times I am not sure it was the same one. Also it seemed smaller one viewing to another. Maybe I just have a cat in the neighborhood with a TAIL collection. There is also a squirrel a few blocks a way that is a red type, but 3/4 white/grey. I have seen it a few times.

Redtail Hawks are "impressively large" birds of prey ... eagles are ABSOLUTELY GINORMOUS birds of prey. Also, Golden and Bald Eagles have dark breasts, and your bird has a white breast. Best guess: Red Tailed hawk http://www.backyardbirdcam.com/gallery/hawk-red-tailed.htm

Casey - the jambs and the stools are white pine. The bay stool was made out of one 4ft piece (center section) and one 8ft piece (sides) that I got from the lumberyard at the same time and stored in the same place, but there is a big difference in the way those 2 boards are taking stain, not to mention getting it close to the same brownish orange color as the 2-yr old jambs on those windows. Same stain, I stained the jambs only a few months ago but they seemed to turn brownish as soon as I put the conditioner on (as did most of the stools in the house - there were only a few that turned more yellow than orange and so I put gel on those, most only have a conditioner and clear satin poly on them). These 2 boards didn't turn brown at all, and one board used for 2 pieces didn't even turn very orange with conditioner. At least I got the sides to (if not match) "flow" into the center orangey part by putting 2 coats of Honey Maple on those this afternoon (only 1 on center section). Do you think a few weeks of sun might get it to turn more brown? Should I leave it out on top of my soaking tub in unfinished bathroom (under a window) and see? Or is it just going to turn more orange, so I have to do a thin coat of brown gel now? I was just shooting for honey pine, not pumpkin pine. Sorry I confused the issue - I don't mind the 6-panel doors, casings, and baseboards being radiata. I'll try to take pics in AM (the piece is in basement so not great light right now). Thanks

@lazy_gardens @fhfchrish Thank you for confirming the Fox Squirrel. Actually, when I first saw it, I was almost sure that it's a Fox Squirrel. However, when I google for pictures of Gray Squirrels, I find some of them are also quite orange. Any ideas?
