Yep, looks like a broadwing to me. Short, stumpy, and barred. Nice shot.
If any of you are interested in photographing raptors you should try to get up to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pennsylvania during the fall migration [October/ November]. On good days broadwings come through by the hundreds.

I think you are right, Rick - the white stripe on the tail is a good clue.

Rick: Wonderful captures today, what a nice variety.
Cowboy, or mounted hobo? Too bad you couldn't have talked to the guy to find out his story.
My brother-in-law in an ornithologist (by profession) in the Berkshires. He says "Good for them. Yes, it is a broadwing."
Thanks Kenn! Great to hear from you.
