Thanks! This guy was heading east as he flew over. Being so low to the ground I assumed he was probably hunting for food. We have vacant acres of land behind us. He didn't seem to notice us at all. He didn't make any sound at all... just sort of gliding. It was quite an unexpected awesome moment that left both dh & I with our mouths hanging open.
