All hawks are red-tail hawks until proven otherwise. That's my philosophy anyway...

I have my own -- but no picture, unfortunately...

I saw these birds yesterday morning in some bushes in a suburban neighborhood. I live in western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh). It's cold here but no snow yet, and yesterday was actually rather mild -- mid 40's (F).

Anyway, these were small birds, sparrow-sized I would say. The one I that I saw up close had a dull blue back and white belly (or was it a white back and a blue belly?). Looked like some brown or orange under the wing. And a black mask/face. Short beaks, I think -- nothing particularly prominent about them.

They were plump but nimble little things. Any ideas?

What about my bird?
