My husband, aka, Scupper, spied this hawk(?) in one of our willows yesterday dining on his latest victem. It appears to be larger than a crow and smaller than a seagull.
See more pictures of this bird by clicking here. Photo credits: Scupper.

Saw the same bird on alki today. I think it’s a peregrine falcon.
My friend the birdwatcher says: “I think the bird is a Cooper’s Hawk, which is a bird-eating hawk that flies through the trees and catches birds that are trying to get away. The book says they are 16.5 ” long. Crows run about 16-17.5″, so he was right on. This is an immature bird–all brown streaks and a rounded, banded tail.”
