Here are links to a website with pics. At first I thought it might be a Coopers hawk as they are pretty well known for hunting at bird feeders, but I don't think they are in Eastern US. And the Coopers hawk site gave a link to this broad winged hawk. Looks an awful lot like the picture here.

Yes, I think so too. We thought the other day that it might be him but couldn't get a good enough look at his underbelly. His tail isn't right for a red-tailed hawk, and chest isn't right. Thanks for the info; sent it to my neighbor.
I think you're right.
