It was funnier than it sounds
Any bird watcher ID this bird ?

Danza, I think you've just explained why no-one recognises it, since it is likely to be native to the United States!
Kwerk, have a look at

select Birds of Prey from the list on the left hand side, you should be able to ID it from the photos.
