This bird was soaring at a couple hundred feet or so, small bird, my field guide didn't help when comparing flight/wing patterns to Kestrels and Merlin's. 4 shots only cropped.
CLOSED: Kestrel?
No.2 these were the best out of 8 shots.
No.3
Last one.
Sharp-shinned Hawk - wings too broad and rounded for a kestrel
Resin
No neck and squared tail says Sharpie to me too.

Ok Thanks! I forgot Sharp-shinned Hawks, are not much bigger than some Kestrels.
It flew right over the house today, but I was leaving, seems to be hanging around now.
